Representation

When I was charged with 3 misdemeanors and one felony that carried an 18 month minimum mandatory sentence I felt like my world was flipped upside down. For days, even weeks, the seriousness and stress just consumed me. When I reached out to Kris, the most important thing he said to me in our first c...onversation was there’s a difference between being worried and being concerned. Of course he didn’t ignore the seriousness of my charges being a NH resident or sugarcoat anything. He was upfront and honest with me about where this could go. Although my charges felt like they were hindering my day to day being, knowing I had Kris to help me get through this, put me more at ease. Kris is assertive, collected, confident and most importantly black and white, there is no gray area with him. His professionalism and presence in the courtroom gave me a sense of comfort and reminded me that he has it under control. After a year of many court appearances, Kris was able to pull what felt like the impossible, all 4 of my charges were put on a continuance without a finding for 11 months. Without a doubt his representation was most impressive. I couldn’t be more happy with my decision for hiring Kris and truly cannot thank him enough for how much he did help me.

OUI case

Kristen Patria did a wonderful job handling my case. He was both professional and extremely knowledgeable. Although my case took almost a year to be completed, it was through no fault of Mr. Patria. I would sincerely recommend Mr. Patria to everyone.

Fantastic lawyer!! Please read!

I hired Kristin Jay Patria as my lawyer in an oui (operating under the influence) case, where I was being charged for oui by the state. I spoke with him over the phone for over an hour, and met him in person twice before I hired him. He took his time to help me weigh out options and offer insight and... suggestions from the beginning, before I even hired him. He made me feel confident that he was the man for the job, and he delivered. For alot of people such as myself, who have not had much personal experience with the court system, you should know that Mr. Patria was very helpful in easing the process, and helping me to understand, as well as keeping me up to date with details throughout the entire procedure. And when it came time for trial, he was incredible. Mr. Patria is highly knowledgeable, and astoundingly good at his job. He can be cutthroat and vicious when necessary, but always very polite and respectful. He fought for me all the way until the end, and we walked away with a victory! I was acquitted of all charges, and the case was dismissed! I would absolutely, highly recommend Kristen Jay Patria as a defense attorney for anybody who needs a good lawyer that will fight for them. Hiring this man is easily one of the best decisions I have ever made!

Excellent attorney

I recently hired Attorney Patria for a personal injury case. From our first meeting, Attorney Patria was professional and patient. Throughout the process, he maintained communication, and was quick to reply to any questions or concerns that I presented. He handled any issues that arose which defin...itely took the stress out of the process for me. I would highly recommend Attorney Patria.
