Very dissatisfied with the service of Attorney Jeffrey Manganaro in handling a simple divorce case. A request to be reassigned to a new attorney was denied......”there were no other attorneys available!”. A request to speak with a supervising attorney was ignored also. So if you decide to use this law firm just know that if you don’t care for the way your assigned attorney handles your case there are NO options within the law firm for reassignment.

I am extremely pleased with my experience with attorney Andrew Piela. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer. His kindness and compassion is extra ordinary. He helped me put my high anxiety situation into a manageable one. His knowledge of the law and desire to make things right, and he just allowed me to know that my best interests were always in the forefront. He thoughtfully explained things to me, and I had complete confidence in having him as my counsel. Attorney Piela was always professional and quick to return calls, emails, and give answers and guidance to my concerns. I knew i was in good hands. He is certainly a person of high integrity and intelligence. When he represented me on my divorce, every hearing resulted in our favor, and when the divorce was final, we got everything we requested from the court. He got me full custody of my children, child support, etc. He also represented me for domestic violence extension, and he got me a 5-year restraining order extension against my ex-husband. He wins it all for me. It's unbelievable. Attorney Andrew Piela is very thorough. He went above and beyond to win my case. He is also an attorney who likes to give back. He helps people that are in need who cannot afford a lawyer. He represent them for free. He is an attorney with a big heart.

Fran Murphy and Karen Mathews are a dynamic duo. They did their job well and treated me with respect.

I would highly recommend Andrew Piela. I have never needed a lawyer and was feeling overwhelmed. He put my mind at ease and answered every question I had, regardless of how silly I felt it was. I emailed and called all the time and I never had to wait long, if at all for a reply. I had a great experience and will be using him for any other legal( hopefully not) situations that might become present.

Excellent communication, professional, and knowledgeable could not have asked for better results regarding workers compensation. Many thanks ...Jared O'Connor

I worked with Fran Murphy and Karen Matthews for 3 1/2 years on my case. I was thankful every moment! They were professional as well as always compassionate, they understood the process and understood that after injury the process isn't always easy. in the end it was all worth it.

I have to say i was taken care of very well by Karen Mathews.The time and effort she put in on my accident case was above and beyond anything i could have asked for or excepted.Karen was there when i had a question no matter the how big or small she always had the answers for me would get back to me within the day, many times within an hr. she always had updates throughout the week and checked in with me to make sure i was doing okay and if there was anything she could do for me.I can't thank Karen enough for everything she did for me .It made it easier on my recovery knowing i was in great hands..thanks so Karen for all your hard work..

I would highly recommend Andrew Piela. He was exceptionally attentive to my situation, provided excellent follow up and was very available when needed. He was compassionate to my situation and extremely knowledgable of the law. Andrew assisted us with navigating the system, and explaining all options that were available to me and the rationale. He assisted with the guardian that was required in my case, and made a stressful time less overwhelming. I would highly recommend him for his compassionate approach to a highly stressful and emotional situation, and with his significant knowledge of the law, cases and the NH system.

Kathryn B. Johnston, Esq., a former partner with Nixon, Hall & Hess has returned to Manchester. She is now working at Shaheen and Gordon. Johnston is a lawyer AND a nurse, which is really helpful if you have a personal injury case. Don't hesitate -- call her! She's the best!

I wholeheartedly recommend Kathryn B. Johnston as an attorney. Initially, I dreaded going through the legal process. I anticipated that my case would be like what I've seen on TV: drawn-out, complex and stressful. However, Ms. Johnston is a pleasure to work with. She does exactly what she says she will do, in the time frame she says she will do it. She got things done quickly, yet also took time to answer questions, ask me how I was doing, and prepare me for court. She guided me through the judicial process painlessly and efficiently. It was so refreshing to work with someone who delivers everything they promise. Her communication helped maintain my peace of mind. She worked diligently on the case from start to finish; she aggressively searched for answers until she had them and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Her hard work paid off when she uncovered angles that others just did not see. Her wit and perception were vital to my case, as shown my successful outcome. Wonderful job.
