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.

“Ninety percent of success in life is just showing up.” —Woody Allen

“I enjoy practicing in the areas of creditor’s rights and construction law because it allows me a chance to understand how different businesses operate. It also allows me a chance to help find creative solutions to complicated problems. These practice areas are not all dispute driven. Often I have an opportunity to work collaboratively with clients, adversaries and other professionals to find outcomes that can benefit everybody, not just one party. These practice areas also ensure that I never stop learning no matter how long I practice. I welcome the intellectual challenge each day poses, but that challenge is only worthwhile because of the professionalism and congeniality of the members of the New Hampshire legal community with whom I work.”
