Nicole R. Fortune

I am a New Hampshire native who joined the United States Army on my 18th birthday.  I served honorably for 8 years in Military Intelligence, receiving many awards and promotions while completing my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice.  Thereafter I returned to New Hampshire where I joined the National Guard for 4 years, working in JAG and Counter Drug while completing my Bachelor's Degree in Political Science.  Thereafter, I went on to obtain my Juris Doctor in 2002.  I began my legal career as a prosecutor for over 8 years and as such, have over 17 years of litigation experience.  In private practice I have served as defense counsel in criminal cases and DWIs and as counsel for those seeking habeas corpus relief, as well as those served with domestic violence, restraining, or stalking petitions.  I also practice Family, Second Amendment, and Labor Law and draft Estate plans and NFA Firearms Trusts.  I am currently a member of the New Hampshire Bar Association, Disabled American Veterans, NRA, Gun Owners of New Hampshire, and in 2011 I received a Governor's Citation for my military service and public service to New Hampshire as a prosecutor and Assistant County Attorney.
