Theodore M Lothstein

Ted and team were very helpful during this stressful time. In Dec 2024 I was arrested for aggravated DUI in Claremont, NH. I found Ted's info on Google and after talking with him I felt very comfortable and knew him and his team were the right folks to help me. Living in a different state Ted wa...s able to get the court to agree to let me appear via phone, he reached out to attorneys in my home state to see how I would be affected at home. Ted and his team were always available to answer my questions and communicated clearly every step of the way. In March 2025 my DUI case got decreased to a reckless driving charge. This was an amazing unusual outcome and I never would have been able to get this without Ted and his team. Thank you for all you did! I definitely recommend Ted and his team for your legal needs.

I have just gone through a challenging time following a traumatizing, tragic auto/motorcycle accident that led to 14 months of legal proceedings, culminating in a trial at Concord District Court in October 2024. I was charged with vehicular assault as a Class A misdemeanor, which could have resulted ...in a year in jail, significant fines, and more. Ted Lothstein was recommended to me by lawyer friends of my brother who were familiar with his work. From the very beginning, Ted demonstrated a strong belief in my understanding of the accident. Over the months we worked together, which included a fatality hearing at the DMV, he was consistently responsive to my questions and concerns. His explanations were clear, and he communicated quickly and compassionately. Ted dedicated considerable time to phone calls, often including my brother, to discuss my case and help us navigate the process. Ted was clear in stating the various possible outcomes and the various timelines I could expect for receiving decisions. He provided honest assessments of the most likely results and outlined his strategy for the trial in case the judge ruled against me. His preparation for both the DMV hearings and the district court trial was thorough. He shared with me through either, or both, emails and phone conversations, all the communication he was having with the judge, prosecutor, and hearing officer. He was prepared at both the hearing and trial with his arguments and crucial evidence, including videos of the cyclist prior to the accident as well as the accident itself. Additionally, he had maps to help clarify the scene of the accident. Furthermore, he hired an exceptionally experienced accident reconstructionist and maintained communication both with him and a key witness who had provided dashcam footage. Ted invested significant time in preparing both witnesses for the DMV hearing and the trial. During the trial, I was particularly impressed by his questioning of all witnesses. He was respectful to everyone I felt. Ultimately, I was found not guilty. I highly recommend Ted for his skills, hard work, responsiveness, professionalism, communication abilities, organization, preparedness, dedication, and compassion.

Back in 2019 I was falsely accused of committing a crime. The subsequent police investigations resulted in my arrest and eventually a wrongful conviction. The criminal attorney who represented me throughout the ordeal highly recommended attorney Lothstein and his law firm to do the appeal. The trial... transcripts and all of the other required documentation were gathered and submitted, and Lothstein and Guerriero went to work. The case was accepted by the NH Supreme Court, and oral arguments were heard in the fall of 2022. I was able to attend the oral arguments, and watching attorney Lothstein in action was an absolute privilege. Attorney Lothstein had previously explained the percentages of successful appeals to me, but I left the oral arguments feeling very, very, hopeful. On March 30, 2023, I received word that the conviction was reversed and remanded back to the Superior Court where the trial was conducted. The opinion that the Supreme Court issued was a very strong, concise, and unanimous decision. It is a decision that will be cited in motions and briefs far into the future, and will hopefully help prevent future wrongful convictions due to the law created in our case. It also gave the State of New Hampshire really no choice on their next action, as evidenced by the verbiage on the Notice of Nolle Prosequi that we received from the Superior Court: “Given Supreme Court Order of reverse and remand, the State is not pursuing this charge.” These results were not achieved by accident. The dedication given to this case by attorney Lothstein and his entire legal staff was incredible. From day one I was treated as a person as opposed to just a client. The level of comfort that I felt from the first day we spoke was as high as it could have possibly been, and it remained that way until the day the ruling was announced. The victory that we celebrated in the following days was an extremely hard, well fought, and justly deserved one that has been instrumental in helping me “recover” from a nightmare that continued for only several weeks shy of four very long years. If anyone reading this review has any doubt about who I would recommend to someone in need of an appellate attorney (or any other practice areas they specialize in), you should try reading this review again from the beginning. I know I have said it many times, but once again- attorney Lothstein, Melanie, and everyone else- Thank you again for all that you have done.

If you have a DUI or DWI and looking for an attorney, select Ted Lothstein. He handled my case quickly, professionally and explained all of my options. I was totally humiliated with this DWI offense and having attorney Lothstein take charge of the case was the best decision I made. Highly recommended....

I was stopped on my birthday and cited with Reckless Operation and told to appear in Laconia District court. The first thing I did was find out what the consequences of the charge was then I knew I needed a lawyer to help me through this ordeal. I needed a good lawyer who was also compassionate. Aft...er the Free Consultation I knew that Mr. Lothstein was the Lawyer for me. I had interviewed several lawyers before hiring his law firm. One lawyer just wanted to be my friend and another wouldn’t even consider plea bargaining. He just wanted my money and to plead guilty. I felt like Mr. Lothstein not only explained the consequences if found guilty but looked at ways to prove my innocence. If it weren’t for Mr. Lothstein’s knowledge of the law and his compassionate ways I would not have made it through the few months leading up to the final trial date. He explained everything to me and was always available to answer my phone calls or emails. Mr. Lothstein saved my life. If it had not been for his negotiations and advocacy on my part I would have lost my license and my job. Through his expertise in the laws, my final outcome was reduced to a speeding violation.
