My sincerest condolences are offered on behalf of myself and those of us at the R.I. Workers’ Compensation Court. To Robin and family I realize no words can ease your painful loss, but please know that we mourn the loss of such a luminary figure in our local legal community with you.
My sincere condolences
Alfred was an erudite and formidable opponent in the courtroom.
He was also kind and helpful to young lawyers. A question regarding a domestic relations issue would promptly be met with Alfred removing his old, beat up, held together with rubber bands black book with a case citation! To the Factor family and all the past and present members of K&K my sincere condolences.
Robyn and Bill

Robyn, Bill and Jamie,
