Experience

Jeremy practices primarily with the firm's litigation department, working on litigation matters in a wide range of areas, such as contract, land-use, association governance, partition, employment, civil rights, negligence, constitutional litigation and legal arcana.

As a member of the firm's Media Law and First Amendment group, Jeremy has defended television, newspaper and internet clients from lawsuits at the trial and appellate court levels, including the 2010 case Mortgage Specialists v. Implode Explode Heavy Industries, Inc. that extended the New Hampshire Constitution's free speech protections for the press to blogs, and established legal tests for when a court may unmask pseudonymous online speakers or compel the press to disclose its sources.

Jeremy's appellate practice provides clients with highly effective written and oral appellate advocacy at a comparatively low cost. For this reason, Jeremy is an excellent referral option for small firms and solo practitioners in New Hampshire who do not have the time and resources to prosecute or defend an appeal for a valued client, or for clients with limited budgets who need to appeal an adverse ruling.

Prior to his legal career, Jeremy worked for a decade in international relief (West Africa), domestic social services (North Carolina) and institutional management (Dartmouth College).

He speaks French and German.
