We selected eight of the best lawyers from around the state for portraits and asked them to share a favorite quotation and to tell us why they love what they do. These profiles appeared along with Woodward/White’s annual Best Lawyers in America list, as published in our November issue.

“I have had the privilege of representing hospitals and health care providers in New Hampshire and Maine for over 20 years. I truly love getting to know and working with my clients. Being named in a lawsuit is a deeply personal and stressful thing for health care providers, and helping my clients through that process is challenging and rewarding. I was attracted to the legal profession because I am a lifelong learner. With medical malpractice defense, no two cases are the same, and I really enjoy the challenge of learning the often complex medicine at the heart of each case.”
