Biography

I am an experienced and dedicated New Hampshire Attorney. I advocate for a wide array of legal matters in state and federal courts, as well as administrative agencies. My practice areas include Personal Injury, Workers’ Compensation Law, Employment Law (employers and employees), Civil Litigation, and Business Law. I am committed to excellence in service and legal representation.

I was born and raised in New Hampshire. I graduated from Laconia High School in 1977. I obtained my B.A. in Economics with honors, from Colby College in 1981, and my J.D. cum laude, from Boston College Law School in 1984. I joined Normandin, Cheney & O’Neil following law school, and became a Partner in 1994.

I am a member of the Belknap County, New Hampshire and American Bar Associations, a sustaining member of the New Hampshire Association for Justice, and a Fellow of the New Hampshire Bar Foundation. Active in bar association activities, I was a co-recipient of the President’s Award for Distinguished Service to the Legal Profession. Additionally, I have a Distinguished rating from Martindale-Hubbell.
