One never expects to suddenly need a lawyer. When we did, we didn't know where to turn. We researched prayed and came across Jerome and thank God we did. He was with us through the entire process, answered questions and allayed our anxiety. That was key, putting things in perspective and providing a sense of normalcy while things went through the covid delayed system. We cannot be more thankful and grateful of the outcome.
Thankyou Jerome

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!

I highly appreciate Jerome's expertise and professionalism in helping me get a positive outcome from a case. I could not have done it without his help. It certainly was a trying time dealing with a family issue that resulted in this case occurring. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone in a situation involving a domestic dispute.

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

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 was referred to Attorney Samdperil after my deferred sentence was in jeopardy due to two minor offenses that came up over the summer. Atty Samdperil quickly took action and represented me in the most recent case. One of the offenses were dropped, and he managed to get the second offense lowered as to not trigger the balance of the deferred sentence. From there, Attorney Samdperil represented me again when it was time to have my deferred case suspended, which also resulted in a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Attorney Samdperil. Has great work ethic, tells it like it is, but also had no doubt he had my best interests in mind at all times.

A few months back I found myself in legal trouble for the very first time. I was confused, lost and scared. I immediately started doing research and after reading reviews (like on this site) I reached out to Richard. He called me back right away. I had spoken to a few other attorneys while doing my research but what struck me the most about Richard was his experience. He was so level headed and even-keeled during our conversation. Also during our first chat he took interest in me the person, I wasn’t just a case to him. Our conversation gave me something I was in dire need of, hope.
Richard was also highly recommended to me by a friend who works in the industry but in another state. His firm knew of Richard and his reputation and that’s all I needed.
Richard has a way to make even the scariest of legal terms easy to understand. He always made me feel like I was his top priority and would answer even the smallest question I had right away. His knowledge of the legal system is undeniable. He outlined every step of the process for me and gave me both sides so I knew exactly what to expect at every turn.
Richard helped me get a better outcome than I could have imagined when I first got into my situation. There was never a moment of doubt with him. He has a calmness about him that is contagious and is very easy to open up to.
Finally he is not only experienced but he handles every situation with respect and class. I felt extremely confident with him representing me in my situation and I could not have asked for me. Richard is a class act and we would all be very lucky to call him a friend.

It is a good thing that Daniel Webster is no longer with us, because it would be bad news for him to learn that Richard E. Samdperil has overtaken the throne of "New Hampshire's greatest lawyer". I've been working with Richard for over a year. His expertise spans multiple levels relevant to the legal profession, while his competitors often lack greatly in certain areas.
That is to say, Richard is far more than a brilliant legal argumentator. Richard is far more than someone who can entertain anyone who watches the Supreme Court oral argument webcasts, when he makes an absolute fool out of state prosecutors on the other side who simple cannot muster the intellect to undermine Richard's powerfully simple, persuasive arguments. Far more than these tactical elements, Richard has a masterful handle on holistic legal strategy that many other attorneys lack.
Richard's expert competency in legal strategics (as opposed to solely "tactics") is absolutely necessary for clients who find themselves in far-reaching legal entanglements spanning multiple cases as in my case, and very helpful for clients in simpler cases to ensure an optimal outcome big-picture. Richard is essentially a risk-minimizer and approaches his legal profession as an outlet of veritable therapeutic life coaching for his clients: i.e., an adherence to a general principle of minimizing harm, minimizing costs, and minimizing legal impacts, instead of more typical attorney behaviors of myopically focusing on specific case tactics and racking up a good bill while so doing, with little genuine concern for the client.
Not Richard. Richard cares about his clients and is a honorable defender of the United States Constitution and the rights granted thereby to the citizens. By this service to the people, he compounds great honor to his name just as our Armed Forces defend our laws and rights in a very different fashion. Richard's practice however illuminates the oft-forgotten truth that quality, principled defense attorneys are nearly as crucial to defending our rights and liberties from domestic threats as are our good men and women in the military who defend the same from foreign threats to the same. It is therefore not excessively hyperbolic to call Richard a brilliant soldier of justice - indeed, he is just this, and much more.
I would highly recommend Richard to anyone seeking legal help in his practice areas.

“Attorney Russman went above and beyond to help with my case. He is someone committed to public service and put my mind at ease with the whole situation. The outcome was better than I could have hoped for. He fought against any limitations on my driving privileges and was successful. He placed a priority on my career and that is something that was of the utmost importance and will never be taken for granted. If you ever find yourself in this unfortunate situation…you need to go to the guy who literally wrote the book on this. This attorney and this firm know what they are doing, they work with experience and confidence and you don’t need to look anywhere else.”

I was arrested for a DUI after going off the road in the snow. Because I am a licensed nurse, a conviction could have resulted in the loss of my nursing license. Attorney Russman ensured the outcome I wanted was achieved. I could not have been happier with the outcome. If you are a nurse, physician or allied health professional Attorney Russman is YOUR representation! He will work for you to keep the incident from effecting your ability to practice.

Amy Connolly is a lifesaver! My husband and I were very fortunate to have a lawyer with her intellect and class stand at our side. She was thorough, serious, and extremely conscientious of obtaining justice for us. For a modest and kind person, Amy expressed a commanding and authoritative voice in the court room. Her knowledge and guidance not only won our case, but ensured the safety of our whole family. We cannot Thank you enough, Amy!

My experience with Attorney Connolly was very one sided. She ran me approximately 10,000 in debt. She told me that this. "Your case shouldnt take to long, you were only married for a year". We lost every battle in court. Told me to pay for a plane ticket about 1,300 dollars to see my children. I never saw my children. She doesn't fight for you in court. I can't explain enough. I had to fire her.
To me I believe she was in kahoots with the opposing counsel.
No I do not recommend her.

If you have a complex divorce Ken is the attorney you want fighting for you. Ken agreed to take on my case already in progress after I terminated the relationship with my first attorney. It took 3 years for my divorce to go to trial and Ken won everything that I was asking for which was no small feat. Above all, trust Ken’s strategy and experience in the court room. Ken’s integrity really shined in the court room in the way he handled my testimony and the testimony of my ex-spouse. I also can’t say enough about Ken’s paralegal, Shannon Cook. Shannon was always on top of everything and responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner. Shannon is truly Ken’s right hand and they make an excellent team.

Hired for a divorce case. 5,000$ deposit. She never consulted me after the first consulting call.
She missed 3 different phone meetings with me in three months.
Charged me 5000 total before even ever going to court of ever having even one conversation.
The services that were rendered I have been told by every other local attorney is some of the worst advice and service for my situation.
Would never recommend and some of the practices by her and fellow lawyers she is friendly with border illegal.

I can't say enough good things about Amy Connolly! Any circumstance where you need legal counsel can feel overwhelming and emotional. I felt like I had absolutely exhausted every effort on my own and knew I needed help. Within hours of calling Amy, my situation had drastically improved. She explained a clear plan of action and you cannot put a price on the relief I felt knowing she was taking over. She is incredibly smart, thoughtful and hard working. I would recommend her anyone, and I do!
