From its inception 50 years ago, Decof, Mega & Quinn, P. C. has been recognized as a preeminent law firm in Rhode Island devoted to representing individuals and their families in complex, high-value medical malpractice, personal injury and wrongful death claims.
Legendary trial lawyer Leonard Decof founded the firm in 1975 as a first-of-its-kind law firm devoted exclusively to representing injured plaintiffs. In 1980, Mark B. Decof joined his dad and together they grew the firm to become Rhode Island’ s most successful and respected plaintiffs’ personal injury law firm. For 50 years the firm has dedicated itself to representing clients who have been seriously injured or killed due to medical malpractice, defective products, motor vehicle and construction accidents, and professional and corporate negligence.
The law firm’ s skill and experience has produced many of Rhode Island’ s most notable cases. The firm recovered $ 180 million for the state of Rhode Island from those responsible for the infamous credit union collapse. Following years of litigation and a three-week trial, Mark Decof settled a medical malpractice case on behalf of actor James Woods and his family for the death of Woods’ brother Michael in the emergency room at Kent Hospital. Although the monetary amount was confidential, the terms of the settlement required the creation of a foundation in the name of Michael Woods for the improvement of health care at Kent Hospital.
With exceptional lawyers, paralegals and support staff, partners Mark B. Decof, Jeffrey A. Mega and Michael P. Quinn have litigated and tried complex, serious cases and obtained many of the largest jury verdicts and settlements in Rhode Island history, including record-breaking trial judgments of $ 62 million, $ 46 million and $ 18 million. In 2023-2024 alone, the firm resolved cases totaling nearly $ 100 million. Over the past 50 years, Decof, Mega & Quinn, P. C. has recovered over $ 1 billion in settlements and jury verdicts on behalf of its clients.
In addition to life-changing financial recoveries for its clients, Decof, Mega & Quinn, P. C. places great value on the improvement of the quality of health care and product safety resulting from its work.
