Top best E Lawyers in ZIP 03802 | 3 available

I work under a seasoned employment and labor law litigator who was an Associate General Counsel at a Fortune 100 company heading its labor and employment law practice.. I represent clients in both state and federal court in New Hampshire and am part of a father/son legal team with more than 45 years of combined experience specializing primarily in employment law matters. The firm takes a pragmatic approach to its cases whether it be a reasonable accommodation action or a suit for wrongful termination.. I specialize in employment law ranging from drafting, editing and interpreting employment contracts, non-compete agreements, severance agreements, employee benefit plans as well as ERISA issues.  Other topics I counsel on include employee privacy, employment discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation, whistle blowing, and sexual harassment.. Employment law requires a lawyer to not only have expertise in the practice area, but also to be able to relate to clients in a personable and realistic manner. I am dedicated to the client, whether an employer or employee aiming to provide the client with the most favorable outcome. I seek to communicate with the client at every stage of the representation.
