Our criminal defense law firm began to take root in 1994, - yes, over 30 years ago! Ted and Richard met each other for the first time at "New Lawyer Training" at the New Hampshire Public Defender. Ted was a new lawyer, having just finished a Clerkship for Associate Justice Robert Berdon at the Connecticut Supreme Court. Richard was not a "new lawyer." In fact, he already had a celebrated career, having been named a "Champion of Justice" by the Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
In the decades that followed, Ted and Richard have dedicated themselves to service to the Bar, and service to the public. As you can read here and here, Ted and Richard provided countless trainings to other lawyers, not just criminal defense lawyers, but prosecuting attorneys, police officers who prosecute cases, and civil lawyers who sometimes "dabble" in criminal defense. Richard became President of the New Hampshire Bar, a remarkable accomplishment.
And most improbably, in 2005, Richard won the award for Champion of Justice again, an award that is given out only to one lawyer a year by the New Hampshire Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
Flash forward almost 20 years and in 2013, Ted and Richard joined forces to form the criminal defense law firm, Lothstein Guerriero, PLLC. When we started, we had two rented offices, two support staff, and no associate attorneys.
In 2018, we bought a building in Concord, our main office, and the main theme of "Field of Dreams" came true for us - "If you build it, they will come!"
Today, our criminal defense firm has four lawyers, three full-time support staff, and two offices in two different cities, Concord and Keene. Recently, Ted received the same great honor that Richard had received in the past. The NH Ass'n of Criminal Defense Lawyers named Ted Lothstein their 2024 Champion of Justice.
We continue to focus our firm on criminal defense but more broadly, we defend our clients against threats to their future:
