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.

Responsive, knowledgeable, and worth every penny
A different law firm handled my Massachusetts OUI charge, which ended in a continuance without a finding, not a conviction. New Hampshire suspended my license anyway, reciprocating as though it were one. As a father with a demanding job, losing my license turned my life upside down. That's when I fou...
