Highly Skilled Attorney with Proven Results

I had the chance of working with Shane on a complex criminal matter in New Hampshire. As a Massachusetts-licensed driver, my case involved multiple layers of legal challenges—including implications for my driving record, license status, and potential penalties across state lines. From our initial mee...ting, Shane demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal landscape and took the time to walk me through each step of the process with clarity and patience. He was consistently responsive to my questions and concerns, ensuring I felt informed and supported throughout the case. Thanks to his expertise and strategic approach, the criminal charge was ultimately dismissed. I would highly recommend Shane to anyone seeking reliable and effective legal representation in either New Hampshire or Massachusetts

Look no further

I can’t rave enough about this attorney . From the beginning, it was clear how extremely knowledgeable he is in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire law, which was a huge advantage in my case. He took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that made me feel informed and supported. ...What stood out most was his passion for what he does—this isn’t just a job to him. He genuinely cares about his clients and fights hard to get the best possible outcome. His attention to detail, courtroom presence, and deep understanding of the law made a real difference in my case. If you’re looking for someone who is both skilled and truly dedicated, look no further.

Excellent lawyer

I would highly recommend to hire Shane. He is clearly knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. He was able to drop my DUI charge to reckless driving. Which honestly, I thought was not possible. He was straightforward and clearly communicated all possible outcomes of my case even from our consultatio...n. Shane helped me tremendously to achieve a favorable outcome.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Shane to represent me in my recent OUI case in NH. Shane was excellent from the start. On the initial consultation he accurately outlined exactly what I should expect as the process played out and was obviously extremely knowledgeable in the area. I communicated to Shane my desired outcome..., a quick resolution, and he delivered. Shane was obviously prepared with the facts of the case and it was immediately obvious to me he had good relationships with all of his colleagues on the other side, DA, judge, etc. I walked out on the first day with a favorable resolution and Shane explained to me exactly what to expect through the rest of the process and that he would be there for any issues that may arise. I should also mention that Shane always promptly replied to any of my questions, which is extremely reassuring to anyone in this type of situation. If the need arises, I recommend Shane without any hesitation. You want him on your side.
