The breadth of my legal experience has given me valuable insight into all aspects of client representation and efficient law firm operations.. I pride myself on speaking plainly with my clients, explaining the legal issues facing them in English, not legalese, so they can understand their choices and make informed decisions, including them in every step along the way. I provide my clients with an honest analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of their case, even when it is difficult for them to hear. I make myself available to my clients as much as possible.. I am persistent and fight zealously for my clients, particularly those who have been wronged by big business or chewed up by the system. As a litigator, I enjoy passionately advocating for my clients’ rights, whether to a judge or jury. While litigation is sometimes necessary, I also know when mediation or arbitration is the correct path to victory for my clients.. My core practice areas include civil litigation (including personal injury), estate planning (Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney), landlord-tenant and family law (divorce, child support and alimony, custody and parental rights cases). I graduated cum laude from Suffolk University Law School in 2006. While in law school I received several academic awards, including the Distinguished Oral Advocate Award.. After receiving my juris doctor, I worked as a contract attorney in Boston before joining John Anthony Simmons, PLLC in 2008. I became a partner in the firm in 2012.. I am admitted to practice in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, including the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. In 2013, I was chosen to participate in the New Hampshire Bar Leadership Academy, a select group chosen by the Bar to promote and encourage leadership and professionalism by identifying present and future leaders of the New Hampshire Bar. Prior to attending law school, I received a B.A. in Psychology and a B.A in Behavioral Science, both with High Honors from Cedarville University in 1992, and was included in the 1992 Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities.. I grew up outside of Milwaukee and have been a New Hampshire resident since 1993. I currently live in Dover with my wife and five children.

Prior to becoming an attorney I worked for over 15 years as a Mental Health Therapist counseling youths and their families.  I have an affinity for children and believe they have a voice that deserves to be heard.  Navigating the legal system can be extremely difficult for adults and often anxiety provoking and confusing for children and adolescents.  They are are asked to make decisions that will affect their life that require guidance.. Though I am a strong proponent of the institution of marriage I understand that sometimes divorce is the best solution.  As divorce is often not amicable having someone to advocate on your behalf is often necessary and well-advised.
