There's a "Rising Star" in New Hampshire...

Last month I was contacted by Super Lawyers, an organization that selects the best up-and-coming attorneys for the year who are considered "Super Lawyers Rising Stars."

Each year, no more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers who attained a high-degree of professional achievement and peer recognition in New Hampshire are chosen to receive this honor.

New England Super Lawyers magazine has named me a 2011 Super Lawyers Rising Star!

This honor was earned on top of my recent appointment as a Sustaining Member of the National College for DUI Defense. This is a highly regarded honor for any DUI attorney throughout the country but wait it gets better.

As always, if you have any questions, please send me feedback with comments, topics of interest, or general questions for future newsletter issues.
