Matt was very kind and thoughtful. He was always available to talk to when I had questions or concerns. He and his staff were very professional and thorough. They did a wonderful job handling my case. Highly recommend!

04 Apr, 2024 by Dale doherty

The day I walked into Matt's office for the first time for my personal injury appointment almost never happened. That day I had just received my accident report from state police and it stated that I was responsible for the tractor trailer driver's accident. I was in an accident on I91 and suffered cervical spinal cord damage. I was shocked to read that on the report because no ticket was issued. Matt was very easy to talk to while explaining my side to him--his positive and reassuring attitude was calming. By the time my appointment ended, Matt was my counsel and not only did I have a chance--he ended up over time negotiating a settlement on our terms! I can't say enough about his experience and expertise! I 100% recommend Newborn Law for anyone needing legal counsel for personal injury!

While I did not personally hire Kirsten to assume my case, my brief interface with her was atomic. From her website alone, I quickly gathered her polished professionalism to separate her from most others. Kirsten's response to my time-sensitive inquiry was instant, and her gentle, unassuming guidance was rock-solid. I did not feel dismissed or invisible, rather I felt safe and cradled by her knowledge-of-law, peppered with a dash of humanity. If I were in a financial position to have elected her for my case, then I would have had zero reservations doing so. There are always exceptions to every generality, and my hunches were effortlessly reinforced. A sound lawyer combines art with science, strategy with knowledge. Kirsten checks all boxes. Highly impactful!

Kirsten and Amanda were extremely patient with me through out my process working with them. I have severe struggles with health conditions and they were extremely considerate in showing compassion with my issues through out the case and did everything needed to guide me in the right direction, I would definitely highly recommend her she is great to work with and her paralegal is also extremely knowledgeable and quick to respond. It's been a pleasure working with you guys. Thank you sincerely.

I cannot speak highly enough of Kirstin Wilson Law and her incredible team of paralegals, Amanda and Nicole. They were an absolute godsend when they took over my case last minute after my previous attorney left his practice. From the moment Kirstin stepped in, I knew I was in good hands. Kirstin's knowledge of NH State and Federal Law is nothing short of impressive. She was able to see through the complexities of my situation and quickly identified how my ex-wife was manipulating the legal system to her advantage. It was like she could read between the lines and anticipate every move before it even happened. Throughout the entire process, Kirstin kept me informed and explained everything thoroughly. Her communication skills are top-notch, and I always felt well-informed and empowered to make the right decisions. The confidence and experience she exudes are truly remarkable. What sets Kirstin apart is her sheer willpower and determination to fight for her clients' freedom and rights. I felt like she was genuinely invested in my case, and that motivated her to go above and beyond to uncover the truth and ensure justice prevailed. If you find yourself in a tough legal situation, and you think no one can find the truth or protect your interests, I can confidently say that Kirstin Wilson Law is the firm you need. They are a powerhouse team, and I am forever grateful for their support during one of the most challenging times of my life. Thank you, Kirstin, Amanda, and Nicole, for your exceptional work! ---Brock K.

Kelly was recommended to me by a coworker for a divorce lawyer. The first day I met Kelly I felt she was compassionate about my case. I expressed my concerns going into the divorce and I feel she never let those concerns be forgotten. She was very patient as unfortunately my case was lengthy. But she never stopped defending me. It's evident she cares about her clients.

Attorney Schoff is an efficient and effective attorney. She is fantastic about communication with clients always returning calls and emails quickly. You never have to wonder what is going on in your case. She is a zealous advocate with a keen legal mind. I highly recommend Tara Schoff, Esq. to anyone seeking an attorney for family related matters. I was able to find comfort in a very difficult time because Attorney Schoff was compassionate and best of all experienced and effective.

28 Jun, 2024 by Anonymous

I was arrested for DUI first offense with a refusal of the breath test. As a result, I was facing a six-month administrative license suspension with the possibility of an additional nine months if convicted of the charge. This lengthy suspension would have made it impossible for me to keep my job, as I have an hour-long commute to work. Attorney Newman handled the case expeditiously and achieved an outstanding result. Prior to the administrative license appeal hearing, Attorney Newman worked out a plea deal with the prosecutor to drop the DUI and replace it with a reckless driving charge. On top of this, the prosecutor also agreed to waive the administrative license suspension. While I was facing up to fifteen months without a license, I ended up with only a three-month suspension and no criminal conviction, as long as I agreed to receive a drug and alcohol evaluation. This highly satisfying outcome is a testament to Attorney Newman's first-rate legal skill and long experience. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to John, my exceptional lawyer. This man is the epitome of professionalism and kindness. When I found myself facing five serious charges, I was overwhelmed with anxiety. But John didn't just step in as my legal representative; he became a supportive presence, akin to a trusted family member. Throughout the entire ordeal, John provided unwavering support, both legally and emotionally. His commitment to my case was unwavering; he left no stone unturned in his efforts to prove my innocence. It was evident that he genuinely cared about my well-being and the outcome of my situation. What truly sets John apart is his genuine generosity. He understood the challenges I was facing and didn't hesitate to provide his assistance without any expectation of immediate compensation. In a field often driven by financial gain, John's compassion and understanding were truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend John. He is not only a highly skilled professional but also a compassionate advocate who will fight tirelessly on your behalf. Thank you, John, for everything you've done for me.

If you are ever in of representation I highly recommend Chuck Keefe. Chuck was wonderful to work with and exercised my rights as a civilian. The whole court process makes you feel guilty until proven innocent. Chuck was able to take the weight off my shoulders and make me feel like everything was being taken care of. Chuck and his team were able to prove that my rights were violated and all my charges were dropped. I learned from this process that just because someone carries a badge doesn't mean they don't make mistakes and can't learn from those mistakes as well. I believe everyone involved learned something from the ordeal and if it wasn't for Chuck and his team exercising law verses perception the result wouldn't have been the same.

Attorney Chuck Keefe, no need to look elsewhere if you’re seeking; legal counsel, legal representation, a defense attorney, a professional with compassion, someone who is knowledgeable, someone who has and exhibits integrity, ethics and honesty and someone who is well established and highly respected within the legal community. Attorney Chuck Keefe handled a serious legal situation for my son. Myself being the protective parent I scrutinized Chuck’s decisions, actions and behavior, throughout the entire process. I was able to experience ease, because of Chuck’s expertise and demeanor. Most importantly my son has benefited by having Chuck as his attorney, he now can move forward with his life without having lifelong legal consequences. Lastly I think it’s important to say we found and hired attorney Chuck Keefe only after we had hired and experienced two awful legal representatives prior, who we terminated. Wish we would have had Chuck from the beginning he was and is The Right Choice! Chuck and his staff are professionals!

I highly recommend Attorney Chuck Keefe. I hired him to represent me in a very difficult criminal case. He was excellent. He handled all aspects of the case with skill and expertise. His office was very professional and kept me informed. If you get charged with a crime you should call him.

I am so pleased to recommend the Ward Law Group! Attorney Ward represented me through my Social Security Disability application process. The entire process can be quite daunting, but Attorney Ward and his staff made it so much less scary! I would recommend for anyone who needs help with this type of application to "get thee to the Ward Law Group" without wasting any time. They were wonderful to work with (so easy to talk to and very warm and professional) and I had a positive outcome (thanks to them!).

Attorney Ward took my mother's SSDI case and delivered. Now she is approved and that has been a sign of relief for my family. If you need an experienced and caring SSA benefits attorney to represent you, look no further!

16 Nov, 2023 by Dorina

One of the BEST decisions I ever made was to hire the Ward Law Group in August 2020! Attorney Ward's entire legal team, especially his extremely diligent paralegal, Lori. There are seriously not enough words to express my gratitude. She is very efficient and put me at ease from day one. Not once did they make me feel like "just another routine" SS Disability case; I was a real person who needed help. When I met Attorney Ward at my hearing in May 2023, I understood why he and his legal team are the BEST! I am forever grateful and will always highly recommend the Ward Law Group!

The only regret I have is that I did not go with Sekella Law sooner. I used another attorney first time around and it was night and day once I signed on with Heather. As a father I felt my side was not taken seriously with the first ruling, but that all changed with Heather. My son is with me which is what he has been wanting for over three years.

19 Nov, 2020 by Anonymous

I reached out to Heather regarding a fairly complicated post-divorce, post-alimony dispute related to health insurance coverage for my ex-spouse. After an initial consultation where she educated me as to the uniqueness of my situation, she described a path forward that would provide closure. Though the issue took over a year to resolve (due mostly to the pandemic) I felt that Heather was attentive to my needs and generally cost-conscious in her approach. In the end things went against me financially which, while unfortunate, was always a possibility. However she did achieve my primary goal of finality without having to go through a trial, so overall I was satisfied which the approach Heather took.

I had to get a family lawyer on very short notice, heather and I were only able to discuss my case for a max 1.5 hours before my hearing. She quickly obtained all necessary facts and was able to represent me very honestly! She did amazing I highly recommend her!

Eric got me out of a DUI about 5 years ago. I refused the breath test, so they had no accurate level of alcohol intake. (That’s your right as a NH citizen). He got me wreckless driving, which is a speeding fine essentially and I paid $500 to the court. AMAZING LAWYER!!!!

05 Mar, 2021 by Alex

I was charged with a dui and defective equipment. I refused the FST and blood test which comes with an automatic 180 day license suspension. I had a video of the encounter with the Hudson police. Eric helped me win my ALS hearing and keep my license. He then was able to get the prosecutor to drop the dui and I plead guilty to the defective equipment and paid a fine. I will recommend Eric to anyone that is in trouble. I hope I never need him again but if I do I know I'm in good hands.

Life surprised me when I fell in love with my now husband, an immigrant. We knew we wanted to be together but weren't sure how to make it happen legally. I am SO glad we found Enrique and Mesa Law!! Sometimes working with the right person makes all the difference, and this was definitely one of those times. Enrique answered our questions, he worked with us and our particular situation, and he made a process that was confusing at first into something easy and straightforward. Plus, Enrique is just an authentic and likeable person. That's important! We liked him, and we could see that he was well liked at our interview. My husband became a conditional permanent resident, and now 2 years later we're preparing to apply for the removal of conditions. If you're reading this and you're on the fence, you've found a winner. Go with Mesa Law!

I had a great experience today with New Hampshire Brazilian Council Services. I was trying to get married and I had an issue with the birth certificate translation and notary. I called 2 different places but none of them could help me right away. I called Bruno and he told me to send him the documents via email, he sent it back to me in less than 30min, I printed it and he met with me and my fiance at the bank so we could notarize it. He literally saved us from having to change all of our plans. I was very grateful for his fast service, would recommend.

Deixo meu depoimento aqui a respeito de situações em que não cabe a você resolver, ou a qualquer um indicado. Voce que e imigrante, não deixe de contratar um profissional de qualidade ao se tratar de casos que requer uma pessoa para lhe ajudar. Quando precisei de resolver algo contratei uma pessoa simplesmente por achar que qualquer um poderia fazer (como a maioria diz), e por escolher um valor inferior ao cotado com demais profissionais. E isso causou transtornos aos quais perdi tempo, dinheiro e o pior: nos momentos mais solicitados ao contratado a resolver os procedimentos cabíveis ao trabalho requerido, deu-se pouca importância. Foi assim que procurei o advogado Bruno D`Britto, e ele sim resolveu minha situação de forma rápida, eficaz, sendo uma pessoa justa, sensata, um profissional competente e com muito conhecimento no que faz. Sou muito grata a ele e não poderia deixar de passar essa experiencia que tive. Por isso digo: quando buscarem ajuda para resolver qualquer coisa, se orientem a quem recorrer pois nada melhor do que ter segurança com um bom profissional e que a todo momento te da suporte e segurança. Parabens Doutor Bruno pelo seu potencial.

Was charged with a felony and a misdemeanor. I lost many rights that I once had prior to the charges. I emphasized the importance of getting all my property back and regaining my rights. He handled it as I asked and got me exactly what I wanted as an outcome. It was a long process but largely due to “Covid” and the courts shutting down. He was on top of every aspect. When I I had questions or concerns he answered back immediately. I would hire him in a second in the event I need to in the future ( I have no intention of needing to). Can’t say enough good things about him. I even got a refund check at the end for remaining funds not used!!! Thank you again Jerome!

After falling victim to an arrest for an OUI, Attorney Nicholas Howie was immediately recommended to me from someone who had successfully worked with him in clearing a past OUI off their own record. Not only was Nick easy to contact, but he was able to be in court for me the very next day. I felt confident after our first interaction based on how knowledgeable Nick was and the level of experience he’s had with cases like mine. He was thorough in explaining the process and transparent with all possible outcomes, so that I could appropriately set my expectations. He was able to communicate clearly and respond to all my questions in a timely manner, whether at our in-person meetings or through a quick phone call/ text message. Not only was he able to settle my concerns, but also guide me through the harder steps, like encouraging me to read the arrest report and watching the body cam footage, so that I wouldn’t be surprised if it was shown in the courtroom. The highlight of my experience was watching Nick slay in the courtroom. He was fully prepared, and refreshed and up to date with the evidence in my case, despite several months passing by. Although I was understandably nervous, I went in feeling confident because of how included I was in my case. I could not have asked for a better, more successful experience.

05 Apr, 2023 by Tom

Nick was a fantastic attorney and was very respectful and communicative with me through the entire legal process. I did not have to navigate my case by myself at all and was guided throughout with Nick’s expertise. I will absolutely use Howie Law Offices for any legal needs myself or my family has in the future.

21 Jan, 2022 by Bob m.

I selected Attorney Richard Guerriero to represent me in a civil but highly embarrassing court appearance. The case was one that in today's climate the deck cards are automatically stacked against you. The case required a sensitive approach but thorough examination of events that needed to be presented to the court thoughtfully but also with a high degree of sensitivity and skill. Richard's analytical and chronological exploration of circumstances, framing judicial law and language against each and every circumstance and accusation, allowed for the court to see past what in today's climate would normally be a 'no win situation' into a clearly defined contrary position to the accusations, thus rendering a dismissal by the court. I found his staff to be highly supportive and extremely helpful with using technology to gather evidence to assist in the case. As for Richard, he was very generous with his time and I found his assessments of the potential trial outcomes to be fair and honest, not overpromising results and thus setting expectations accordingly. I would HIGHLY recommend Attorney Guerriero to anyone needing legal representation.

My name is Morgan - I earned a DUI in September 2023. I hired Ted as my attorney as the case was too complicated for me to deal with on my own - I got the DUI in NH, but I reside in Florida. I needed help to navigate the court systems in both states as well as in my absence from NH. Ted did a fantastic job. He and his support staff were on top of everything in the most helpful of ways. I am easily confused and they explained everything to me and really helped me get through the process as painlessly as possible. I am completely satisfied with the job they did for me and I feel the fee was well earned. I am planning on using Ted for all my future DUI's from here on out. ........That's a joke.

22 Jan, 2024 by David

October 22, 2022 was the day I made the biggest mistake of my life! I was arrested for a DUI by NH State Police. A few days went by and I now had to face the reality of what was to come next. So, I went online and read reviews about choosing an attorney, and after narrowing it down to 3, I gave Mr. Lothstein's office a call. I spoke with the secretary and she had great things to say about Mr. Lothstein. So, I thought I would give him a chance. I set up a free telephone consult and he was very empathetic with my situation. What I liked most was his honesty with my situation. He didn't make any empty promises about getting me 100% off the charges. I appreciated that. So, after meeting with Mr. Lothstein and discussing my case, he informed me that I was looking at potential 1 year license suspension, plus a speeding fine. Which could've added 6 months to my sentence. This news was discouraging, but of course my fault! Reference letters were submitted on my behalf, and Mr. Lothstein met with the prosecuting attorney. When Mr. Lothstein called me and told me that he negotiated my sentence down to, 6 months suspended license, with 2 months already served, and they threw out the speeding fine, I was ecstatic with the news! Calling Mr. Lothstein was the best decision I could've made!! I will never be in this situation again, I promise you that. But, if it happens to anyone I know. I know what attorney to tell them to contact!

I was convicted in a NH Superior court in 2021 on multiple felonies. My family and engaged Ted to appeal the decision in 2022 and in 2023 the conviction was overturned. Throughout the whole process Ted was professional and efficient. We are grateful beyond words to Ted and his staff for literally changing our lives.

Truly can not say enough wonderful words about everyone at O'Neil and Hudkins!! I was going to give shout outs by name and realized it was everyone! The whole team from start to finish are smart, professional, easy to work with, and kind. I know most people dread updating or starting the process of estate planning, Wills, etc, but you can let it go by letting them take care of it all. They handle everything with great knowledge and make it clean and clear on what to expect and what you will receive from them. They walk you through it and give you an easy understanding of all your new life documents. Thanks to them- my self, husband, grown son and 84 year old mom are now set up with everything we need to be able to take care of each other! Thank you all!

I cannot recommend Kat highly enough! From the moment I had the first conversation with her, I knew I was in capable hands. Going through a divorce with a narcissistic and difficult ex was one of the toughest challenges of my life, but having Kat and her team by my side made all the difference. She is not only incredibly fair and smart, but also fiercely dedicated to her clients. Kat navigated every twist and turn of my case with precision and expertise. Her strategic approach ensured that my interests were always protected, and she fought tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome for me and my children. What impressed me the most was how quickly she was able to settle my divorce. Despite the complexities and tension, Kat remained steadfast and focused on reaching a resolution efficiently. Thanks to her sharp legal mind and unwavering determination, I was able to move forward with my life sooner than I ever imagined. If you're looking for a divorce lawyer who will go above and beyond for you, look no further. She is not only an exceptional legal professional but also a compassionate advocate who genuinely cares about her clients' well-being. Thank you, Kat, for helping me navigate through this challenging time with grace and strength. You are truly the best in the business!

Divorce sucks big time. But within 15 minutes of interviewing Katharine I knew she would represent me in my sucky divorce. She's smart, straight-to-the point and was sympathetic to my questions, my concerns and my objectives - without judgement. She had my back before, during and after the mediation process (which I strongly recommend)....all the way to the final decree. She and her support kept me in tbe loop every step of the way and responded to me in a timely manner. I recommend her legal services most sincerely

05 Dec, 2021 by Carol

I hired Katherine for my divorce on a recommendation of a friend. Katherine is extremely easy to work with. She is very direct and honest in her approach which was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted someone to lay out the facts in front of me with no candy coating. She represented me expertly during the mediation and was successful in reaching a signed decree at the end of one day's mediation. She thought through every angle and helped me understand each obstacle we faced so I could make educated decisions. I highly recommend Katherine if you are looking for a smart, honest, detailed oriented lawyer. She is great at her job and gives you confidence in moving through the process!

I could not have asked for a better outcome and I consider myself lucky, lucky because Tim Bush was recommended to me.

I was arrested for a DUI, Disobeyeing a police officer and later charged with unlawful passing of a school bus, criminal threatening, and disorderly conduct. Mr. Bush got the DUI down to a reckless op violation, and only 1 misdemeanor.

19 Sep, 2018 by Shannon

I reached out to Tim Bush when my son was in trouble, facing felonious charges. Attorney Bush sat with us and listened to my son’s circumstances, taking the time required to listen to everything my son had to say. Attorney Bush told my son what his plan of action was and even spent some time to speak with him about making good decisions as a young man. Attorney Bush is very professional, will fight to get you the best result and genuinely cares about his clients. I would highly recommend Attorney Bush and am very grateful for all he did for my son.

My family and extended family have engaged Greg Martin on several occasions for all of our family law needs. I recommend Greg to all of my family and friends on a regular basis. That is mainly because, Greg is a professional and has wonderful people skills. We have hired Greg during times when we feel most vulnerable and emotional. Greg always finds a way to calm our nerves and to make us feel confident in the process and his expertise to help us find a resolution. And, Greg has never failed us. I recommend Greg to you when you need a smart and sharp professional but also want to feel like you are really heard and cared for within the law.

I've know Greg for 20 years or so. First as a fellow volunteer for a local crisis center then as an attorney helping me in my business as a real estate broker. I've found he deals fairly and is knows his stuff. I mention his name often when I know someone needs the service he provides.

I have known Alfred Catalfo for many years and used his law office for various issues, all of which he has handled perfectly, winning all the cases. Besides being a very friendly and genuinely nice person, he has an extremely sharp mind, grasps the issues immediately, and due to his years of experience in all phases of law, knows exactly what course of action to take. He is also highly respected in the community and very well connected with centers of influence and members of the court and judicial system as well as numerous other lawyers with whom he can concur if need be. So you have a very powerful, effective lawyer in attorney Catalfo. Highly recommended.

I can’t say enough good things about attorney Catalfo. He looked at our case from beginning to end and made an excellent long term strategy. He was available during urgent situations and he handled every detail with integrity. I’d highly recommend.

29 Mar, 2021 by Maureen

Months after an injury that just would not heal, I contacted Attorney Neil Nicholson, for some clarity and guidance. From our very first meeting I knew I had contacted the right person. Clarity about the process and honesty and integrity are what I got from Attorney Nicholson. He clearly explained the process, the options and what the litigation would be like. Both Attorney Nicholson and paralegal Brittany Donovan kept me up-to-date, patiently explained answers to my many questions, and responded quickly to all of my concerns. I would have considered all of that to have been enough and great service, but it didn’t stop there. In every communication with them, their sincere compassion and integrity shone through, and the peace of mind this gave me is what I feel makes them top-notch. I would not hesitate to recommend Attorney Neil Nicholson and his firm to family, friends or anyone needing legal representation. In my opinion, they are the best.

16 Feb, 2021 by Kris

Atty Nicholson took a very complex legal case of ours in 2018, when the odds were stacked against us, and successfully worked to get my husband a pardon from the Governor of NH for crimes committed as a youth. Communication was frequent, and calls/emails were always promptly responded to. He was extremely knowledgable of the law and was able to articulate himself well in court. He kept us well informed of case developments and helped our family understand the legal process, making us feel like family. I would highly recommend his law firm!

20 Sep, 2018 by Anonymous

As a MA resident being charged with a DUI in NH, it was important to me that I found an attorney who I could trust and who was familiar with the local law and NH courts. After several days of research and reading reviews, I booked an appointment with Andrew. Andrew and Renee (his paralegal) were both extremely knowledgeable about the entire process and the paces I was about to go through. They listened attentively to the details of my case and believed in me right away. I had been wrongly charged but Andrew was very candid, on what the law is, what would apply and what would not and promised me he would do everything he could (under law) to investigate the evidence on my behalf. Renee and Andrew kept me informed of everything that was going on and my case was handled in an extremely timely manner. Andrew delivered and exceeded my expectations. I was not charged with a DUI and I did not lose my license or rights to drive in NH or MA. I can't thank him enough for believing in me and making this very unpleasant situation essentially go away. I would recommend Andrew to anyone who is looking for a true expert in law and who will provide the consultation in an easy to understand manner.

30 Sep, 2016 by Chris

Andrew Cotrupi saved my life. While that might sound overstated, it is 100% true. I was maliciously charged with a Class B Felony by a local police department for a crime I did not commit. I originally hired a different lawyer and after several months of working with that firm I was faced with the stark reality that the system was not working as I always imagined it would and that I could very well be going to jail for a long time. My former attorney was looking to just negotiate a deal but I couldn't stomach taking a plea deal when I did not commit a crime. Desperate, I sought the advice of a trusted friend who turned me on to Attorney Cotrupi. From our very first meeting, Attorney Cotrupi and his Paralegal Renee treated me like a human being and not a criminal which was a welcome change after the treatment I had been receiving. Andrew listened. He REALLY listened to me and he talked me off the ledge. I hired him on the spot. Over the course of the year he worked diligently and fought for me like I was part of his own family. He worked tirelessly on my behalf, filing motions, counter motions and defending me vigorously. As my trial date approached, he met with me as often as I needed to prepare me. He was the perfect combination of tough love, sound advice and compassion. My trial lasted for three days if you include jury selection. I was terrified and in uncharted waters but Andrew guided me through. Sometimes he would have to lean over and tell me to relax because I was looking like a lunatic. Other times he would put a reassuring hand on my shoulder. His opening statement was brilliant. His cross-examinations exposed the "rehearsed lies and stories" and his closing statement captivated the jury. In the end, the jury deliberated for a mere 20 minutes before returning a "Not Guilty" verdict. 20 minutes! After a year of having my world thrown upside down and having a prosecution trying to make me into something I was not, Andrew was able to dismantle the case and gave me my life back. He was truly a God-send for my family and I. Because of his work, I will be able to go back to raising my four young children. Andrew is not only an amazing lawyer, he is an honest, fair and good man. I will forever be indebted to him and would recommend him to anyone.
