"Donna does not need my endorsement, but I provide it without reservation. Her achievements speak for themselves. Here is a link to her most recent victory in the landmark NH Supreme Court case State v. Jones: (https://www.courts.state.nh.us/supreme/opinions/2020/2020004Jones.pdf). I was fortunate enough to be one office away from Donna when I started at the NH Public Defender. I learned so much just by listening to her talk through cases and treat clients as anyone would want to be treated."

"In 1995, Donna was my supervising attorney when I tried one of my first jury trials, a client accused of stabbing a man outside a local bar. Donna tried the case with me and because of her amazing skills with cross-examining witnesses and challenging the government's case, we secured a not guilty from the jury. Since then, I have seen her try more jury trials - and win more jury trials - than anyone else I know. She is a tenacious and fearless litigator, but she comes across as a regular person, both with her clients and with juries, which makes her all the more effective. I give her my strongest endorsement."

Ronald Abramson

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Donna was one of my supervisors in the early days of my career as a Public Defender. She is one of the most thorough, caring, and capable trial lawyers I've ever met. I learned as much from co-counseling cases with her as I have in any other professional context. Donna is a dogged advocate who doesn't need to raise her voice to be an extremely effective advocate. Not only would I refer potential clients to Donna, but she is also on the short list of people I would turn to if I or someone I love were to find themselves in trouble in New Hampshire."

"I am happy to endorse Donna without reservation. Her experience, skills and personality make her one of the best defense lawyers in the state. I can count on the fingers of one hand the defense attorneys in NH that I would refer a friend or family member to for representation. Donna would be at the top of a very short list."

Stacy Scheff

Civil rights lawyer | Jan 30

Relationship: Friend

"I have known Donna since 2011 as a friend and colleague in prisoners' civil rights. Donna Brown is the kind of ethical and conscientious lawyer who dispels the bad reputation that lawyers often get. Whether the matter is civil or criminal, Donna brings years of experience and a passion for justice that is undiminished with time. I cannot recommend Donna highly enough!"
