    - featured_video_textOral Argument to the Supreme Court on Bicentennial in NH Senate Chamber for the Bicentennial of the State House opening. Case involved a property tax exemption for a disabled veteran hinging on meaning of the word acquired.
    - featured_win_textLouis Nordle is a disabled veteran of the Vietnam War. Using a Veterans Administration grant, he adapted his home for his disabilities. A New Hampshire statute provides property tax exemption for disabled veterans who "acquire" a "specially adapted homestead" with VA funds. The town refused the exemption, and Mr. Nordle appealed. The Supreme Court found that the New Hampshire statute was ambiguous, but was designed to mimic benefits under federal VA law. The court held that because the adaptations qualify under the federal law, the New Hampshire veteran gets the tax exemption.

    - featured_win_textHusband and Wife were married for 13 years. Husband received social security and veteran's disability benefits. Husband was also the beneficiary of his mother's estate, but he spent it all, much on illegal drugs. I represented the Wife, who was left penniless, homeless, and destitute. The family court awarded her alimony, and also a portion of the now-squandered inheritance. On appeal, the New Hampshire Supreme Court held that veteran's disability benefits can be used to pay alimony because they are for the purpose of supporting the vet and his family. The Supreme Court also held that even though Husband had squandered his inheritance, Wife could be awarded a portion of it.

    - short_descriptionjurisdiction to determine parenting of infant
    - featured_video_textThis appeal involved a dispute between young parents over whether the welfare of their infant should be resolved by courts in New Hampshire or Massachusetts. I argued that New Hampshire was the child’s home state.
    - featured_win_textThe Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA) has been enacted in most states to determine, as its name implies, what state's courts have control over the custody of children when there is a choice among multiple states. Here, the eight month old child was born in Massachusetts to unwed parents, but resided in New Hampshire when Father filed his petition for custody. Mother claimed that because she did not move from Massachusetts to New Hampshire until later, Massachusetts should exercise jurisdiction and she should have custody. I argued for Father that New Hampshire was the child's "home state" because the child lived in New Hampshire for more than the six consecutive months required by the UCCJA, and because the child's Father and grandparents with whom she had a significant relationships also lived in New Hampshire. The court agreed, holding that "jurisdiction follows the residency of the child and not the mother," and that "New Hampshire's exercise of jurisdiction was in [the child's] best interest, especially in light of the goals of the UCCJA."

    - short_descriptioneffect of default in divorce proceedings
    - featured_video_text
    - featured_win_textCouple had a traditional marriage in which Husband earned money outside the house while wife raised the children, earned some sporadic and limited income, and participated in volunteer activities. After Husband sought a no-fault divorce, wife took no action in the legal case. She did not file an answer, did not request discovery, and did not seek alimony. The trial court thus defaulted her. Husband had proposed that in lieu of alimony, he would continue to pay wife's monthly living expenses, including mortage, property taxes, utilities, and insurance. When wife finally participated in the case, she requested alimony, but the trial court refused because of the default, and wife appealed. I argued for Husband that he "should not be held accountable for the wife's failure to participate in these proceedings." Construing New Hampshire's divorce statute and court rules, the Supreme Court agreed, holding that the lower court was not wrong in denying wife's tardy request for alimony and in approving Husband's alternative.

    - short_descriptionpublic right to government documents
    - featured_video_textThis appeal involved an organization which attempted to get documents from a government agency which stalled. I argued the government violated the Right-to-Know law.
    - featured_win_textATV-Watch is a non-profit organization which monitors use and development of all terrain vehicle trails in New Hampshire. It filed a Right-to-Know request for documents with the Department of Resources and Economic Development (DRED), “the agency charged by statute with developing, managing and creating multipurpose recreational trails in New Hampshire.” ATV-Watch sought “information relating to DRED’s intended purchase of a large tract of land” and “its plan to develop all terrain vehicle and other trails once the land was purchased.” DRED ultimately released all the documents requested, but admitted some were not disclosed within the statutory time limits. It hoped to excuse its tardiness, saying that it responded with reasonable speed, and that delays were not its fault or were harmless. DRED claimed that although it “may have technically violated the statute, the violation did not prejudice” ATV-Watch. I argued for ATV-Watch that the Right-to-Know statute provides absolute timetables by when administrative agencies must disclose documents. The New Hampshire Supreme Court agreed. It held that “the plain language of the provision does not allow for consideration of factors … such as “reasonable speed,” “oversight,” “fault,” “harm,” or “prejudice.” The Court thus found DRED “violated the Right-to-Know Law by its delayed disclosure.” It did not award attorneys fees, however, because all the documents ATV-Watch sought were released before it appealed.

    - short_descriptionnon-compete covenant
    - featured_video_textThis appeal involved a man who had been fired for violating his non-compete contract. I argued the contract was overly restrictive, and therefore unlawful.
    - featured_win_textA national company based in Salem, New Hampshire contracted with movie chains to conduct their daily theater cleaning, and subcontracted the work to local cleaning crews. A key Employee signed a contract which contained a three-year non-competition clause that covered all territories served by the company. The Employee, whose job was to estimate the cost of cleaning each theater in the chain, worked there for just five monts. A dissatisfied co-worker started a competing company, which the Employee was alleged to have aided by sharing production rates and giving operations advice. I argued for the Employee that the non-competition clause was unenforceable because it covered too large a geographic area, lasted too long, and was broader than necessary to protect the company's legitimate interests. While noting that an employer has a legitimate interest in protecting information relating to unique business practices and influence over the company’s customer base, the Supreme Court held the non-competition clause was unenforceable because it covered too wide a geographic area, too large a section of the company’s customer base, and was unreasonably broad in scope. The Supreme Court remanded for a determination of whether the clause could be reformed.
