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.

“Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”
— John Lewis

“Before law school, I worked in the U.S. Senate as a legislative assistant on health care issues, and at age 20, I served in the N.H. House of Representatives. That experience guided me during my 40-year career as counsel for hospitals and health care providers. In this highly regulated arena, it is essential not only to know how to advise clients on current law, but also to apply common sense in helping them propose statutes and regulations that in the future will better serve them and their patients. I am fortunate to have represented many talented clients, some for nearly the entire span of my career. I am also grateful to my law firm for encouraging its lawyers to give back to the larger community and to make ‘good trouble, necessary trouble.’”
