Out of State Driver Charged with DWI in NH

I am a Massachusetts resident who vacations in New Hampshire every summer with my family. I was arrested and charged with DWI in the Summer of 2019 after going to the store to get firewood and made a right turn at a red light. I did not see the "no turn on red" sign. I was pulled over and asked to ...take a field sobriety test because the Police Officer claimed I had a strong odor of alcohol on my breath and my eyes were glassy and bloodshot. Truth is I had roughly 4 beverages over the course of 7 hours with food and waters mixed in. I was not intoxicated, but was reluctant to take the breathalyzer test because the officer told me my breath had a strong odor. I ultimately refused the test, so I was arrested and charged with DWI based on the Officer's interpretation of the Field Sobriety Test results. I found Leonard Harden through an online search and called him on a Sunday afternoon on 4th of July weekend and he called me back a minute later. After our discussion on the facts of the case I made the decision to hire Len for his Services and it was a wise decision. Len and his team were able to defend me in court by proving that the Field Sobriety tests were administered incorrectly and the body cam footage showed that I was not intoxicated. If I hadn't hired Len, I would have probably had to do a plea bargain and deal with an unjustified DWI on my record forever. With the help of Len and his team, the Judge ruled "Not Guilty" after a 3 hour trial. Justice was served. I am able to continue enjoying the beautiful State of New Hampshire with my family for years to come thanks to Len and his Team.

Attentive and Understanding

Len Harden came as a recommendation from friends of friends and I am so happy that I hired him for my DWI case. He was attentive from the consultations through the final step of paying my speeding ticket and concealing my record. He never pushed me into accepting or going to trial that he did not fee...l was correct for the situation. He was upfront with me about the possibilities that could come if I loose. Len also explained everything and went over every detail of the events. He took thorough notes throughout me explaining what had happened and the DMV hearing. He ended up by winning my DMV hearing and having the police drop the DWI charge due to his knowledge and attending forums of police training.

Best of the Best

When you make a bad decision and life seems to be at its worst, there is help and guidance available. Sometimes it costs a lot of money or time to get back on your feet again. I’m glad I chose to have Attorney Len Harden represent me and my legal issues. There may be a sense of ability for how mu...ch can be done for some people. I trust that Len looks at things from a wide angle and makes sure you have a fair chance at getting an honest chance in court. Thank you Len for your representation and your knowledge. It was critical to my health that I needed someone I could put my faith in to handle my case.

Praise to attorney Len Harden!

Having not had any problems in my life regarding alcohol for nearly a decade, I was charged with a DWI in February of this year, and was referred to Len Harden from an attorney in the southern NH area who had represented me in another DWI case nearly 15 years ago. The best thing I did was to hire him... as my lawyer, period. Attorney Harden brought the charge down from a felony to a Class B misdemeanor, moving it from Superior to District Court. Through his knowledge, pull, and respect as a local legal force to be reckoned with, attorney Harden was able to further plea my case down to a first offense, removing any possibility of jail time, and shaving almost 4 years off of my potential license loss. I cannot express how grateful I am for this. I also would like to add that through the entire ordeal, any questions I had were promptly answered by Amanda at the office, or by Len himself, mostly within a couple hours after they were asked. Every step of the way was explained clearly and concisely, and inside I just knew I had a very strong player on my team. I have the utmost confidence, and respect for this man. Thank you Len!

Top notch, knowledgeable, defense attorney

I got referred to Len, by a couple of top attorneys from southern New Hampshire. I reside near the Boston area and got pulled over in October 2016 for a headlight out in Berlin NH. I was subsequently arrested for possession of and transporting in a motor vehicle a controlled substance, Marijuana. ...These charges were a class B misdemeanor with the transportation charge carrying a mandatory loss of drivers license for 60 days. Soon after my arrest I had an initial consultation with Attorney Harden. He informed me that at my arraignment, the DA would offered to drop the transportation charge if I was willing to plead guilty to the possession charge. This would have been an acceptable, free advice for some but I was unable to plea guilty to a criminal charge due to many circumstances in my life. We spoke that first time for about half hour all on his dime, about other options. It was obvious to me that I was in good hands and agreed to hire him. After negotiations with the DA, Len was able to get all criminal charges dropped and reduced to a violation for knowingly transporting a controlled substance, marijuana in a motor vehicle. An amazing result considering the police had me on body camera, I willfully handed over the pot and there was no denying the possession. From my perspective, to walk away without any guilty plea of possession or transportation of a controlled substance or paraphernalia was only possible from Len's incredible interpretation of the marijuana laws in New Hampshire. Furthermore, in 12 months I can petition the court to have the case and violation completely annulled. I would highly recommend his services if you have criminal issues in northern NH. In closing, I owe Attorney Harden the most sincere thanks for understanding and addressing my needs in this case. I can only hope to cross paths again under much different circumstance, lol.
