Heather M. Burns of Upton & Hatfield

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.

Employment Law — Individuals

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” — Martin Luther King Jr.

“Employees devote immeasurable time to their jobs and careers. Yet, unlawful discrimination and retaliation in the workplace still happens. It is a brave act when an employee is willing to challenge an unlawful termination, or report to the employee’s employer that the employee is being discriminated against or retaliated against. When employees lose their jobs due to discrimination, or in retaliation for reporting discrimination, or in retaliation for whistleblowing (to name just some of the causes of action we handle), I feel fortunate when I can help right the wrong. We fight valiantly to protect our clients and to enforce the federal employment laws and the employment laws of the state of New Hampshire.”
