09 Jul, 2015 by Anonymous

We needed help with filing for bankruptcy several years ago. Christopher stood out because he carefully listened to us explain our situation, explained all our options - the pros and cons, and patiently worked with us. to create and implement a plan. He was responsible to follow all the correct laws and procedures, and made the process as painless and simple as possible.

Attorney Kelly has been a great light in the scary tunnel called Bankruptcy that I found myself in. Patient, careful and so knowledgeable this office helped me wade through the vast and overwhelming world of the U.S. Bankruptcy System. Truly such a professional individual, such a great representation of in my own opinion, of what a Lawyer someone who you trust to help you through such situations, should be.

I hired Attorney Kelley in 2008. I was facing bankruptcy and he explained the process, showed me all of my options and got my life back on track. I recommend his services to others.

I was an out of state witness/victim in case where I had made clear to the prosecution that I had no desire for defendant to be charged. When I spoke with Sarah, I was impressed with how thorough she was and how she had a plan for each of the different scenarios that could play out. Sarah even was able to get me in touch with a local in-state attorney to help me understand more about any legal issues that could arise within my own state. She called out the prosecution for attempting to coerce me into testifying by sidestepping the interstate subpoena process and was able to successfully convince the court in my favor which resulted in the case against the defendant being dismissed.

30 Jan, 2023 by Ts

Sarah has the experience, compassion, and depth of legal experience that was needed to help me navigate through a complex family situation and always advising what was best for my son. One of her strengths was to say no and that strength created legal guardrails thay were a key to finding a solution for myself and my son.

11 Oct, 2022 by Anonymous

When you work with Sarah, you gain a friend - a trusted friend to guide you through the legalities and emotional twists and turns of life. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. So thankful to have Sarah by my side in a recent domestic case. Sarah is dependable, brilliant, kind and responsive - Exactly the person you want on your team.

We hired Kim for a custody case for our 2 year old Granddaughter , after some other lawyer we had screwed everything up . She came right in and took over in the middle of a nasty battle. And proved to the court exactly what my granddaughters best interests where. She did what she said she would do and we will never forget her saving our granddaughter from a life of horror. We are so grateful to have met Kim !!!

12 Nov, 2015 by Michelle

I have used Kim twice in my Child Custody, Visitation & Child Support hearings. She is knowledgeable and reliable, but also cared about the client (clients) and their best interest. She can also be aggressive if need be. SHE IS MY ROCK! I will use no other attorney!

23 Jul, 2014 by Anonymous

Kim was a pleasure to work with, answered all my questions and listened to all my concerns. She was sympathetic and easy to talk to. She was very flexible about meeting times and was always there when she said she was going to be. I would definetly use her again if I ever needed to and recommend her to others

Andrew, did an excellent job on my legal documents. He listened to me and explained everything in a simple, thorough way so I could understand what the documents meant. He took his time and did not rush me. My documents were sent to me in a timely manner so I could review them and then once I approved, made an appointment to be signed. It was a pleasure working with Andrew.

By far, Attorney LaFrance from start to finish with my divorce case was extremely professional, well-detailed, informative, understanding and supportive. Communication was also top-notch with Attorney LaFrance. Clearly one can tell that Attorney LaFrance provides the respectful amount of attention, takes the time to listen and provide effective feedback in a very timely manner. I am very grateful I found Attorney LaFrance who successfully assisted me in the most difficult time of my life from start to finish. Thank you for everything, on behalf of myself and my daughter.

11 Apr, 2023 by Richard

Patricia (Patti) LaFrance esq. Is an amazing attorney. She did a very nice job laying out exactly what my expectations should be during my divorce. She quickly ascertained the nature of my case and the unique challenges that I was left to deal with. She is particularly well versed and known for her advocacy in domestic violence cases. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised when our Judge knew her by first name and referred to her work when she was with the prosecutors office. The judge certainly seemed to value her legal arguments and opinions. Needless to say I got a more-than fair result in my divorce. If I should ever be in the unfortunate need for an attorney then Patti is the very first person I am going to call. Thank you Patti for your incredible effort. It made a big difference for my children and myself.

17 Feb, 2020 by Ken

Patricia was hired to assist in appealing a denied claim filed with our insurance carrier for a large employee theft that occurred at my company. I had been battling back and forth for well over a year with our carrier before dismissing our current attorney and hiring Patricia. Patricia had the issue resolved for us within a couple months and our claim was paid in full. She has also been assisting us with the ongoing criminal investigation of the former employee and has been instrumental in keeping a very slow process moving forward. Patricia is personal, smart and extremely competent. I'd highly recommend hiring her for your legal matters.

Peter has been equally outstanding in dealing with the minor details and the more important issues of my case.

19 Apr, 2016 by John

I can't remember how I was introduced to Peter but I can say he has been extremely helpful with my case. He gave me all the information about the legal process and when possible asked for my input with decision making. I can honestly say he is trustworthy and I've referred several people to him or his firm, which if you knew me you'd understand that is highest compliment.

19 Apr, 2016 by Mike

Peter took on my personal injury case and was very informative of how this process would go and took the time to really dig into the specifics of my case and figure out what would be our best approach. Just before trial, we closed out this lawsuit with the opposing party. Peter took it right to the very end and made sure that my settlement amount was fair for what I had endured from the crash. Would recommend 10/10.

Jessica is a very bright, knowledgeable attorney who is sensitive to her clients situation. She was my second and final attorney. Very personable and competent. My situation involved 3 children being moved out of state and into home schooling. Jessica, researched and offered advise and suggestions from past cases relevant to mine. Despite the complexities, she helped me get an amiable deal with my ex-wife within reasonable time and expense. I highly recommend her services!

Attorney Tulley was a great help during the short sale of our property. He explained everything well helped us with a tenant situation, and supported us throughout. I hope to work with him in the future on different terms.

I recently had to file a bankruptcy with Attorney Tulley. It was an embarrassing low point in my life. But everything went smoothly, he supported me through the difficult time. I am looking forward to getting back on my feet.

17 Feb, 2011 by Anonymous

Marshall handled the probation of my late husband’s will, and he was incredibly efficient, kind, patient, and understanding. Shortly thereafter, he negotiated the short sale of our home, and I was amazed at how streamlined he made the process. Marshall is a fantastic attorney, and it was wonderful to have someone so caring handling these matters at such a difficult time.

He was very attentive, timely and through. I plan to use him for future work! I highly recommend him.

20 Oct, 2016 by Charlie h.

Atty Kevin G. Collimore is best characterized as the people's attorney Fighting for the common person In pursuit of justice. You and your family need a Attorney that Actually listens, returned your phone calls in a timely fashion keeping you up-to-date with your case, providing options in your best interests to prevail with the best outcome for your family or business. Atty Kevin G. Collimore is a remarkable human being that cares about people. When a serious matter occurs you want the very best at your side in a courtroom pursuing justice in your best interests. Unfortunately many law firms are $ expensive arrogant and aloof When dealing with the general public, this Law office serves the common people in all disciplines of law. Hopefully you will never need an attorney but if circumstances Require the services Highly recommend making an appointment with these folks in Nashua New Hampshire.

18 Mar, 2016 by Michael and stacey

Kevin has taken his time in explaining the whole procedure of what we should expect. If we have/had any questions Kevin is and always has been available. Kevin has compassion for his work and those he helps. We can not say enough about Kevin and his associates.

Our company signed up for The Relationship Enterprise Program in early 2013. We easily got a year's worth of legal advice in the first month of the program since we needed advice on several issues by that point. We pay a modest monthly fee to have access to great legal consul and avoid making mistakes that lead to costly legal fees. It's great to be able to run routine business agreements by Scott without incurring billable hours. Even better, he is so familiar with our operation that he is very efficient in situations which require billable work outside the scope of the program. It reduces the per-project fee and reduces the number of projects needed. Our total legal fees for the past 3 1/2 years are lower than one year of legal fees with the prior law firm. We never have to decide whether to spend money for advice because we can count on getting fast and exceptional advice any time we need it.

04 Jan, 2017 by Donna

Scott has been a consistent resource for my company for several years, providing counsel on HR issues and strategic planning. His intelligent and incisive approach in regards to my business challenges and questions has contributed greatly to my comfort level as company president as I consider him to be one of my most trusted advisors. This was particularly true when my business partner and husband passed away over four years ago and I wanted to secure the market presence and growth of my company. Scott was ready to assist me at nearly every turn as I navigated new procedures and a changing market. I value his integrity and his wisdom and his timely response to our company needs.

03 Jan, 2017 by Grant

Scott has always been excellent to work with because he's empathetic with what I'm working through - he's not just a great listener, but he actually hears what you're saying. He always strives to do the right thing and is the antithesis of a slimy attorney. If you're looking for an honest, hardworking and passionate professional to be in your corner, Scott is your guy.

As a start-up entrepreneur, I was hesitant to hire an attorney for fear of the big fees and being treated as the small business owner not worthy of a big firm's time, as I had previously experienced. Kristin Mendoza has permanently changed that attitude. She has a concierge fee structure where you know the cost of a job upfront. She CARES. Kristin genuinely cares and understands the fear and stress that both the entrepreneur and seasoned business owner face in today's complex business environment. She has provided me with insightful advice that has protected me legally as well as focusing my time more productively. With Kristin, I get a forward-thinking professional who has my back because she cares not only about my business, but about me as well. Thank you Kristin for being a calm, steady voice, partner and friend!

Extremely fair priced. Excellent at her practice. Gives you more insight than you can imagine. She actually CARES. I would absolutely reccomend any business owner to work with Kristin.

Her turnaround times are excellent. Her professionalism is noteworthy. Her willingness to go the extra mile and not charge you for every little thing you ask her to do is commendable. These are the few attributes that most quickly come to mind.

Scott Harris is the most professional attorney that money can buy. His commitment to success and accomplishing the client's goals are done with a quiet confident passion that is both impressive and a source of strength. He looks at every move from a knowledgeable multifaceted perspective so that no option is missed. He's the best at what he does.

Scott is a very caring, compassionate professional with a dedicated support staff. Together they met every need we had when our lives were abruptly and forever changed by a horrific motor vehicle accident that nearly took my husbands life. Scott is extremely knowledgable when dealing with this type of life changing tragedy. He handled our case thoroughly, stayed fully involved, paying attention to each and every detail resulting in a successful outcome. Based on our experience I would highly recommend Scott should you find yourself in need of an attorney.

Leslie Nixon was referred to me by a local seacoast attorney. He gave his highest endorsement. Throughout my case, Attorney Nixon provided timely input on my case, handled my deposition with exceptional care and she brought in the right experts to assist with my case. After reading her deposition of my former physician, it was abundantly clear why they quickly agreed to settle the case. I would highly recommend Attorney Nixon.

07 Apr, 2020 by Will v

Leslie Nixon was linked to my case as I happened to be working in New Hampshire when I was ejected from a vehicle while the driver fell asleep. I live in Maryland and would have to make trips up north in order to proceed with the case. The communication with her team through the entire process was exceptional. Her assistant Nicole requested and pushed information to me as they came and I feel that even though she wasn’t the original lawyer that I began the case with, she assessed what happened to me very well and was very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the case. Her professionalism and knowledge of the law really shined through when I first went up north for my deposition and I felt with I was in great hands as she directed me what to do and not to do, as I’ve never been in the deposition process that lasted for over 4 hours!! I absolutely endorse Leslie Nixon to represent your legal needs. I thank her so much for helping me win my case and move forward with my life!!

Leslie was recommended by a local law firm from upstate NY to handle my brothers wrongfull death/ estate case in New Hampshire, she did a excellent job.

Attorney Vincent Marconi, Jr. was my last hope for a contentious, ugly and stressful divorce and I am happy to say things worked out in my favor! He was always looking out for my best interest. He constantly kept me up to date with my case and communicated with me so that I'd understand the laws and what the outcomes would be. I never had to play phone tag with him or wait forever for him to call me back. I never felt ignored or felt I was just another paying client. He is trustworthy, fair, professional, and really listened to my concerns. I felt like I was a valued client. I have retained him for other matters, including domestic violence, DUI, and landlord cases. I feel 100 percent confident having him as my attorney!

Vincent is the registered agent for my company. He does an excellent job of keeping up with any changes to requirements and letting me know if there is anything I need to do from my end. He files all the necessary paperwork in a timely manner. As I am based overseas, his work on my behalf spares me any surprises or worry.

John and his team are amazing! As a 21 year old at the time- I had been the passenger in a car accident resulting in some serious injuries. After 4 months of getting absolutely no where with the insurance company, I decided to start looking around for lawyers. BBCRD (johns firm) had been recommended to me by my father, I sent in a free consultation email, and John responded almost immediately. I went in to meet with him (after doing research on him of course) and he was so helpful and understanding- he himself had been through a similar situation in his life so he was prepared to help me. I hired him to be my lawyer, it took almost a year and a half to settle but John and his team were absolutely amazing. I had no idea what I was doing, he walked me through everything that was going to happen, he responded to all my emails promptly, he never made me feel stupid and he was just unbelievably helpful. He fought and got me an amazing settlement and I don’t know what I would’ve done without him. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MAN!!! He is worth it! He goes above and beyond.

We needed to find a qualified attorney who was knowledgeable about possession of alcohol by a minor in the state of NH. Not being a NH resident, we searched online and spoke with several attorneys. It was very clear after discussing our situation with John that he was, by far, the best choice. We were extremely pleased with his breadth of knowledge, experience, concern, personal attention and availability while the case was ongoing. His advice was spot on and our case was resolved to our total satisfaction. We highly recommend him.

I sleep better at night knowing Tim is in my corner when legal issues arise.

06 Mar, 2020 by Tim

I recently hired Joe Ransmeier to execute my estate planning. I met with Joe to discuss my wishes. He drew up some documents for my review. Of course, I had a few questions, which he answered in easy to understand terms. Shortly there after we met again to finalize the documents. I would highly recommend Joe's services.

01 Mar, 2020 by Anders

I engaged Attorney Joseph Ransmeier to represent me, as buyer, in a recent real-estate transaction. My case was fairly straightforward, although there were a few peculiarities, such as a foreclosure in my property’s history and the drafting of a non-bank mortgage. In our initial conversation Attorney Ransmeier used clear language to list the parts of the transaction, provide a time frame for each part, and break down costs. He explained which costs were fixed (e.g. transfer tax) and quoted estimates—quite accurately—for those which were not (e.g. billable time). Once retained, Attorney Ransmeier patiently listened to my questions and responded with clarity and authority, always making sure that he had conveyed his meaning to my satisfaction. In one case where he had a doubt, he was honest in telling me that he had consulted a colleague with expertise on the matter in question. Along the way, he kept me abreast of seemingly small (but to me important) matters regarding my case by sending concise email updates. These were nice reminders that I was being looked after. I particularly appreciated that in all our email correspondence he took the time to address me by name, wrote in complete sentences, and signed off courteously. He was also not above putting in neighborly touches that reminded me I was dealing with a human being. Summing up, Attorney Joseph Ransmeier did exactly what he was hired to do, did so efficiently and competently, and was consistently responsive, accessible, and polite. I confidently recommend him to others seeking counsel on real-estate matters in northern New Hampshire.

I contacted Mr. Sowerby and several others for consultation re my father's estate when things went sour. Mr. Sowerby was the one person who not only responded in detail by email, he also spent over 20 minutes on the phone with me. I hired him and I can tell you he not only positively resolved the issues I was having, he did it all under the estimated cost he provided. When you should be focused on grieving, the last thing you want to do in these circumstances is think you could be taken advantage of, Mr. Sowerby had my back, kept me informed, and quite frankly saved the other party a lot of difficulty by informing their attorney of incorrect filings! He was professional, kind, empathetic and knowledgeable. I can't recommend him highly enough, seriously, I don't give 5 star reviews unless deserved.

Sometime ago I met Dwight, in any event, within the past 14 months we have become a team. I was tragically faced with decisions that were beyond my capacity of making. Dwight was with me every step of the way. Dwight provided guidance, compassion and friendship which continues today.

Jennifer was not only very knowledgeable, but was truly interested in my situation and making sure I understood ALL the laws and choices that applied to my situation. Very caring and understanding.

11 Oct, 2017 by Charlene

After meeting with other attorneys about divorce and custody, I found Jennifer. I instantly felt comfortable and confident with my plan to leave an abusive situation with her help. Over 4 years later, I remain absolutely thankful for her ongoing help and guidance. She enabled me find my voice when I thought I had none - and the confidence to stand up for myself and my child. She is consistently responsive whenever new situations arise. I consider her a partner and value her guidance and advice.

Jennifer was supportive during a non-traditional divorce. She would give me gentle nudges when difficult choices had to be made and reminded me that there truly is a light at the end. I knew I could count on her filing paperwork on time and contacting the right professionals. Quiet often after a tense situation, we would have a good laugh, then push forward. Thank you Jennifer

I have worked with Michael for ten+ years on a variety of employment related cases from basic employment compliance to difficult harassment and termination situations. There is no one who is more prepared, researched and knowledgeable. He takes the time to educate you and explain all aspects of a case. Michael is the most honest, reputable and ethical professional that I know.

I would highly recommend Mr. Traister as an excellent choice when complex issues require creative solutions. Mr. Traister has shown me he has a profound understanding of the law and is a very effective advocate on his clients behalf. In multiple instances Mr. Traister has explained the legal implications and outlined a comprehensive strategy to achieve my desired results with success in every instance. I sincerely trust Mr. Traister and am certain he represents his clients interests with the attention to detail, competency, and dedication any client wants and requires.

I was charged with transporting alcohol, transportation of controlled drug and possession of controlled drug. This was a big problem as I planned to go to school and a criminal charge would have hurt my career. I was trying to help a friend who was too drunk to drive. Alcohol and drugs belonged to friend. Attorney Tighe was able to convince the prosecutor to drop drug charges. I ended up with a relatively violation level alcohol charge with no criminal record . Attorney Tighe was most professional and competent a great NH lawyer.

I was being charged with felony possession of a drug which could have seriously affected my college financial aid. If convicted I was also looking at possible jail time. So I went online and found Attorney Kevin Tighe. Since a criminal charge is something that I am unfamiliar with I wasn't too sure what questions to ask and what to do next. Attorney Tighe was great, he even loaned me a suit jacket for my court appearance. He explained beforehand everything that would happen and what my choices would be. He was always good about returning my calls and very professional. In the end I ended up facing no jail time and Mr Tighe even worked out some payment terms for the small fine that I received. I would recommend him 110% to anyone needing a lawyer who is honest, incredibly supportive, and highly competent.

Tim McLaughlin helped us navigate a couple complex legal scenarios effectively, efficiently, and with favorable outcomes over the last couple years. He consistently demonstrated his experience and significant knowledge, but did not hesitate to consult other attorneys in his practice or to engage external specialists as needed to ensure the outcome of our legal matters. I highly recommend his services.

04 Aug, 2015 by Kate

We have been working with Attorney Tim McLaughlin for nearly 6 months and his level of professionalism and care for his clients concerns is exceptional. He is incredibly knowledgeable in his field but is able to speak with ease about legal matters in language that is understandable to those with little legal knowledge. He has tenacity, he is creative in his approach and possesses as much integrity as anyone I have ever encountered. He is trustworthy, honest and hardworking. It is easy to see that he has our best interest at heart at all times. Attorney McLaughlin is easily accessible to his clients by phone and e mail and we have never had to wait more than a few hours to hear back from a voice message left for him or an e mail sent. When the need arose for us to seek advice on a separate legal matter, Tim did not hesitate to tell us that what we needed was out of his expertise and immediately referred us to his associate within the firm who specializes in the field that we needed. We would 100% recommend Attorney Tim McLaughlin without the least hesitation.

Mr. McLaughlin is an exceptional attorney who makes you feel as though you are his only client. He assisted in developing maritime law policies for my maritime security company. What I really liked about Tim was that he did not hesitate to tell me when he was out of his area expertise and offered a more cost effective solution to my inquiry. Mr. McLaughlin has been more than attentive and exceptionally responsive to my every question. I am more than satisfied with the work that Tim has done in the past and will not hesitate to call on him in the future. His professionalism and attention to detail have been a great reminder that a higher of standard of quality is still out there, all be it - rare. I recommend him to the highest degree.

Bill was very knowledgable about the applicable law and able to strategically interact with opposing council resulting in a positive outcome for my case. Through Bill's excellent communications I learned that patience is key and that legalease doesn't usually mean what a laymen like me thought it did. So if you are navigating through stormy legal waters make Bill the captain of your boat.

Attorney Trafidlo did an excellent job in representing me in an OUI case in Maine. He successfully negotiated this to a plea of Driving to Endanger. He was very competent and knowledgeable in this area of the law allowing a positive outcome in my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney to represent them

Not only did I have the best possible outcome, he informed me what and why he was doing things and how the legal system works. Returns messages in a timely fashion, and made me feel like he cared during a really stressful time

Michael Laws is a fantastic attorney. He advocated for me and my best interests through out the entire divorce process. He went above and beyond to help ease a difficult and emotional situation. He promptly addressed any concerns, responded to emails efficiently, always treated me with dignity/respect, and most importantly got me out of a very toxic marriage. I cant thank him enough, and I would highly recommend him!

From our first consultation to the settlement of our case, Ed Wallace and his legal team were fantastic. They always explained everything to our understanding and advised us wisely on a course of action. They communicated every step of the way and kept us in the loop on the progress of the case. The attorney and his staff were friendly and professional. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

11 Feb, 2015 by Ashley

I was very pleased with Ed Wallace. I started to do research on line and found the office that Ed works at. Gave them a call told them my story of what had happened and I was told I had a case. One day at work I was talking with a customer about everything and he had asked who my lawyer was and I told him his name and he told me I was in good hands. And that he was right. Ed dis everything to make sure my son go what he needed. Seeing my son at 3 year's old in a body cast was devastating. It was the longest 6 weeks of his life and mine. I would recommend Ed to anyone who has an injury and needs a lawyer, I know they will be just as pleased as we were. He is a very kind man! I was happy to shake hi a hand and say thank you!!
