We reported last week that Corrente will step down as U.S. Attorney at midnight on Friday after serving five years in the office. He received praise for setting up an anti-gang educational program and successfully prosecuting many health care and white-collar fraud cases while he was Rhode Island’s top federal prosecutor.
“Bob is one of the most prominent attorneys in Rhode Island and we are thrilled to have him join our growing Rhode Island litigation practice,” Burns & Levinson managing partner David Rosenblatt said in the news release. “As a U.S. attorney he has earned a reputation as a fearless and diligent prosecutor and we know as a private practice attorney he will show these same attributes in the pursuit of our clients’ interests.”
