I’m a trial attorney who brings years of prosecutorial experience to my criminal defense practice. After graduating from Suffolk University Law School, where I was a member of the prosecutors clinical program. Knowing I wanted to work both in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, I took each state's bar exam back-to-back, passing both on my first attempt. I served as an Assistant District Attorney in Middlesex County, Massachusetts’ largest county. I appeared in court daily, arguing bail hearings and evidentiary motions and regularly trying cases before judges and juries.
I came home to New Hampshire and joined the Criminal Bureau of the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. I started out prosecuting unemployment fraud in the Superior Courts alongside the Department of Employment Security. I was later commissioned as an Assistant Attorney General in the Drug Prosecution Unit, where I prosecuted drug felonies and related civil asset forfeitures and was on call for homicide and officer-involved use-of-force investigations. I also briefed and argued appeals before the New Hampshire Supreme Court, securing favorable outcomes for the State.
Today, I draw on that experience to defend clients charged with felonies, misdemeanors, and violations in New Hampshire and Massachusetts courts, including related license proceedings before the NH DMV and Massachusetts RMV.
