Flexible and Reasonable Approach

If you are charged with a crime, you need quick and comprehensive assistance from a knowledgeable attorney. That shouldn't mean you or your family being pressured into meeting the financial demands of the first attorney you speak with. What you want in a defense attorney is experience. What you want to pay for is knowledge and ability, not an attorney's marketing and advertising budget. I will provide an initial consultation at no cost. I will speak with you about your case and my experience and let you decide whether or not to hire me. I am confident I can help you through any criminal prosecution. 

With family law matters, your level of need may vary. While it is always a good idea to consult with an experienced attorney, not every situation calls for expensive, prolonged attorney services. You may want to try to work things out before court or you may have started the process and have a mediation scheduled. I like to find out what my clients' goals are, and assess what help they need. Limited representation may be provided in certain cases, meaning that you can save money by only paying for the time and work that you need help with. I have assisted clients with drafting legal paperwork, appearing on their behalf at specific hearings, attending mediation, and entering into negotiations before filing in court. 

criminal defense

I can help you with any type of case at the District or Superior courts. Violations, misdemeanors, felonies. DWI, Simple Assault, Domestic Violence, Possession of a Controlled Drug, Habitual Offender, Theft, etc. 

family law 

I have assisted clients in divorce, post-divorce, QDRO preparation, parenting, guardianship, child support, grandparents' rights,parental relocation cases and other matters. You may need only limited (or "unbundled") legal services. I am willing to provide you with the help that you need and not take a "one size fits all" approach to your particular case. 

personal injury

Car accidents, slip and fall injuries, products liability and more. I am happy to speak with you to assess your potential claim. 

appeals

I have handed appeals to the New Hampshire Supreme Court in both criminal and civil cases. If you are considering an appeal of a court's decision you need to speak with a qualified attorney right away.
