Relocation attorney -- Massachusetts to New Hampshire

My wife and I recently moved to NH from Massachusetts.and were in need of updated documents relative to our relocation as well as new ones to address “elder law” issues. I found Mr. Sowerby a breath of fresh air after having dealt with lawyers for decades in Massachusetts. I recommend him most enthus...iastically to others, and would be proud to do personally upon request.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
