I have a diverse background.  I spent five years teaching before attending law school and bring my empathy and creativity from that experience to my law practice.  I am an experienced litigtor.  I spent many years attending court proceedings on a daily basis.  I am here to fight for your rights and provide you with peace of mind as I help you navigate through your legal challenge.  I run a boutique law firm so that you have personalized, individualized service from me.

Having been licensed to practice in New Hampshire since 2005, and in Massachusetts since 1995, I am so fortunate to love what I do. I represent my clients in all facets of Family Law and Elder Law including divorce, legal separation, child support and spousal support (alimony), custody and parenting rights and responsibilities, guardianship, pre and post nuptial agreements, estate planning, probate litigation, estate administration and Medicaid. My practice is truly one of "family" law...addressing issues and disputes that arise as a result of family relationships and dynamics. It is my goal with every client to be his/her dedicated advocate. It is also my responsibility to arm my clients with knowledge and information so that they can make informed, intelligent decisions regarding their case. You know your parents, your children, your spouse and yourself, and I know the law. Together we can accomplish your reasonable goals.

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.

I've dedicated my professional life to helping people through difficult times.. I spent nine years as a Superior Court prosecutor working with victims of crime to help them get through the criminal justice system.  I was also fortunate to be a member of the county Drug Court program that offered defendants a chance to rehabilitate themselves in the community rather than serve a prison sentence.  I handled each case with an understanding that every person has their own individual struggles and challenges to overcome.  I learned that you need to listen to people in order to be able to help them.. I bring this same understanding to help clients in Massachusetts and New Hampshire in the areas of criminal defense of violation level, misdemeanor and felony level offenses, including DWI/DUI, as well as family law matters including divorce, child custody, child support and alimony issues.. I've found that having someone who can guide you through the court process may help alleviate a lot of the anxiety and uncertainty.. I pride myself on offering high value, responsive legal services.  Please contact me today for a free consultation.
