Southern New Hampshire Criminal Defense, Led by Former Prosecutors
From DUI and drug charges to serious felonies, we defend people accused of crimes across the NH Seacoast and southern New Hampshire. 35+ years of courtroom experience. When you call, you speak directly with an attorney, not a screener.
DUI
A DUI charge in New Hampshire, also known as DWI under state law, is a serious criminal offense that can have immediate and long-term consequences.
Misdemeanors
In NH, a misdemeanor, even though it is less severe than a felony, is a criminal offense that carries serious legal consequences, including upto 1 year in jail.
Felonies
Felony charges in New Hampshire are the most serious criminal offenses and carry potential long-term sentences, as well as pose other life-altering consequences.
Granite Criminal Defense, PLLC is dedicated exclusively to criminal defense. That focus matters: we don’t split our attention across unrelated practice areas. We defend people, and their futures, against the full range of criminal charges in New Hampshire, from first-offense DUI and misdemeanors to drug crimes, domestic violence allegations, and serious felonies.
Our founding attorneys spent years on the other side of the courtroom, as prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the County Attorney’s Office. We know how the State builds a case, and, just as important, where those cases break. We put that insight to work for every client.
Facing charges is frightening and disorienting. From your very first phone call, you’ll speak directly with an attorney who can explain what you’re up against and what to do next, in English or Spanish.
How we defend your case
A proven, three‑step approach built on experience and preparation.
Examine
We start with a thorough, critical review of the State's evidence, and, where needed, our own independent investigation.
Strategize
We build a theory-driven defense: challenging evidence, raising constitutional arguments, and finding the leverage in your case.
Prepare for trial
We prepare every matter as if it will go to trial, because thorough preparation is what wins dismissals, reductions, and better outcomes.

Why You Can Trust Granite:
We have represented clients in matters ranging from violations and misdemeanors to serious felonies. We understand how prosecutors think and where their cases are vulnerable, which lets us challenge evidence, advance constitutional arguments, and position clients for the strongest possible outcome. Whether that means a dismissal, a reduced charge, or eliminating liability altogether, our commitment is the same: focused advocacy, backed by decades of real courtroom experience.
