In September 2024, I received notice of a professional ethics complaint against my medical license before the New Hampshire Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC). I retained Attorney Doty and her team to represent me in what was essentially a civil ethics matter. By November 2024, Attorney Doty had successfully negotiated a settlement that preserved my professional standing and left no significant marks on my record. Throughout the process, Attorney Doty was exceptionally helpful, maintaining clear and consistent communication. She promptly returned my phone calls and emails, keeping me up-to-date every step of the way. More importantly, her and her team's careful handling of the case ensured the matter was resolved within the terms of her initial retainer, reflecting both efficiency and cost-effectiveness. I am grateful for the outstanding service and outcome delivered by Attorney Doty, and I would highly recommend her to anyone facing a similar professional licensing challenge.

Richard represented me on a DUI charge. He was very supportive, understanding and great at his job! We had a positive outcome and I am extremely grateful for his support and dedication to my case.

I selected Attorney Richard Guerriero to represent me in a civil but highly embarrassing court appearance. The case was one that in today's climate the deck cards are automatically stacked against you. The case required a sensitive approach but thorough examination of events that needed to be presented to the court thoughtfully but also with a high degree of sensitivity and skill. Richard's analytical and chronological exploration of circumstances, framing judicial law and language against each and every circumstance and accusation, allowed for the court to see past what in today's climate would normally be a 'no win situation' into a clearly defined contrary position to the accusations, thus rendering a dismissal by the court. I found his staff to be highly supportive and extremely helpful with using technology to gather evidence to assist in the case. As for Richard, he was very generous with his time and I found his assessments of the potential trial outcomes to be fair and honest, not overpromising results and thus setting expectations accordingly. I would HIGHLY recommend Attorney Guerriero to anyone needing legal representation.

I was scared, and i did not know where to turn. I was looking for an Attorney who would actually take an interest in my case. I chose Richard Guerriero. I made a call, and Kristen his Paralegal called me back, She took notes as to what was going on with my case. She took a personal interest as well. She promised that Richard would call me back, and that is what he did. He made an appointment with me. I told him my side of the story. He showed he cared. Both Kristen and Richard made sure I went home, My case was dismissed. They both did everything I asked. I was more than satisfied.
– Anthony, Avvo, ★★★★★
Richard and Kristen are professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. It is clear to me that Richard was thorough in gathering evidence to use on my behalf as the charge was recently dismissed. I felt confident of a positive outcome when speaking to Richard about my case. I might further add that Richard represented me Pro Bono and I never once felt like I was less of a priority. I would highly recommend this firm.

I would highly recommend. All pros No cons. I will be forever grateful to attorney Guerriero!

I was being investigated for a 15 year old crime that I did not commit. I was a teenager when the alleged conduct occurred. The investigation consumed 10 months of my life. To be be falsely accused of a crime is a transformative and lonely road. I was suicidal because of the stress from the investigation alone. Richard’s thoroughness, dedication, and competence kept me going through the hardest time in my life. I literally would trust him with my life. He managed to help me avoid prosecution altogether.
– anonymous, Avvo, ★★★★★
Attorney Guerriero and his top notch paralegal used their extensive law knowledge, skill, and experience to get me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. Right from my first contact with his Paralegal Kristen to my first consultation with Attorney Guerriero my experience was 100% positive. I thought I could deal with my case on my own but I was being blocked from any information regarding my case. The delays and lack of communication from the other side created a very short time frame for Attorney Guerriero to prepare for my defense. In spite of this he agreed to take my case and he and his staff were immediately getting the necessary information in hand and the time needed to appropriately review and successfully defend my innocence. Throughout the process I had immediate contact with him and if he was occupied with other clients his Paralegal Kristen was diligent in making sure he got back to me as soon as possible. By providing such a highly professional service it gave me the confidence and peace of mind to focus on my daily responsibilities and spending quality time with my family. In the end my case was resolved to my complete satisfaction and I am certain this wouldn't have been the case without his expertise. I would 100% recommend Attorney Guerriero and his law office to represent my friends, relatives, coworkers, or a complete stranger. He gives you the information honest and straight whether you want to hear it or not and that is what you need to have when it's your life on the line.

I recently hired attorney Richard Guerriero after careful research online. Up until then I had not needed representation, so I found that Avvo has the most accurate reviews as compared with other sites (google, yelp). Richard was extremely effective and was able to achieve everything I had wanted the outcome to be. He was in contact frequently to keep me updated, thorough, knowledgeable, polite, well spoken and personable. Richards paralegal Kristen was also very professional and attentive. They make a great team. I would have no reservations recommending Richard to anyone who is seeking top notch representation. You’d be doing yourself a disservice by not considering him.

First, and foremost, Richard treated my son with respect and dignity throughout the whole process. He also treated me (Mom) with respect and kept me in the loop. It was a very scary time for all and I felt safe knowing Richard had our backs. He is very knowledgeable and I would recommend him highly.
– Nanci, Avvo, ★★★★★
Richard and his assistant were outstanding, always keeping me in the loop and updated on my case. They set a good environment and were very legitimate. Richard help me get the best possible outcome. He was very knowledgeable in his work and i would highly recommend him.

Anonymous In July, 2016 I was charged with a DWI 2nd Offense and faced severe penalties including jail time. Richard was recommended by another lawyer as an experienced, skilled and caring attorney. Richard was honest and straightforward. He made no promises about the outcome of the case but I always felt he was fighting for me. He kept me informed of the case proceedings and sought my input and support in any actions he wanted to pursue. The end result was a change in the sentencing to a lesser offense, no jail time and a reduction in the license suspension. I was very satisfied with the outcome and would highly recommend his services.
– anonymous, Avvo, ★★★★★
I am beyond pleased with Richard and his results. He has a great history in criminal defense and it shows. I would highly recommend anyone to Richard. His fees are very reasonable for the value he brings. For me, what was most important was his honesty and trust level. I felt comfortable discussing my case with Richard and knew he was working his hardest for a not guilty verdict, which was our outcome. Richard is also very easy to access by phone or email and overall, just a truly great experience out of a bad one.

Our son was scheduled to ship to Marine boot camp shortly after his high school graduation. This had been his goal since he was in middle school. He had worked hard, overcome a number of obstacles and was about to attain his dream. It was then that he made a couple of bad choices and found that despite all of his work his future plans were in jeopardy. We contacted Attorney Richard Guerriero when he was recommended to us by a fellow attorney and mutual friend. Richard and Kristen were both understanding and supportive while guiding us through a difficult time. He took the time to get to know our son, his individual situation and how he could facilitate the best possible outcome for him. A very excited, nervous and determined young Marine recruit was able to leave for boot camp as planned which would not have been possible without Richard’s help. We are thankful for guidance and would absolutely recommend Attorney Guerriero.

"Not guilty" was the best thing I heard in a year and a half. I was originally charged with Manslaughter, then charged with an "alternative" charge of Negligent Homicide. This all started with a horrible accident with a death resulting. I sought the advice of two friends who had been involved in the NH legal system for many years. They recommended Richard Guerriero for a very serious criminal case. I met with Richard on a Sunday and could clearly see that he was a person of integrity. I thankfully retained his services. Richard worked long and hard to get what prosecution thought was good key evidence thrown out. He found an expert witness who refuted the validity of that evidence. Richard filed several long motions objecting to the evidence. After a two-day hearing, before the trial, the judge threw that evidence out of the case. This is what led to the prosecution dropping the manslaughter charge just before the start of the trial. We went to trial on the negligent homicide charge. Richard and his law partner, Ted, were completely prepared for trial and fought for me all the way. After three days of trial, the jury quickly returned a not guilty verdict. I cannot say enough good about Richard, Ted, Kristen, and all the other staff that worked so hard for me. I am not sure if I could have made it through without them. Richard, Ted, and Kristen are people I would very much like to call friends. I without a doubt recommend this team to anyone who is in need of legal representation in any criminal case. HNA

When our son was arrested for a serious crime, Richard Guerriero was recommended to us by two independent sources. At the initial consultation we knew immediately that he was the right person to defend our son. As well as being an experienced and skilled attorney, we found him to be straightforward, ethical, responsive, and caring. We were also pleased that he was upfront and fair about his fees. Even though it was a first offense and our son had never been in trouble with the law before, the nature of the charges could have resulted in a very lengthy prison sentence. Attorney Guerriero worked diligently with the prosecutor to get the amount of time reduced to below the statutory minimum. While we were at times impatient with the process and the delays in getting information, we soon realized that Attorney Guerriero was true to his word to take things one step at a time and keep us informed as soon as he could. He is conservative and cautious about expectations, never promising more than he can deliver. However, in our son's case, he delivered more than we could have expected or hoped for.
– Carol, Avvo, ★★★★★
I found myself in need of an attorney a year ago. I hired Richard after speaking with a few other attorneys. This was definitely the right choice. He is professional, kind and honest. He fights for what he believes in. My life was literally in his hands & I could tell from the beginning he believed in me. He made no promises except to fight for me and this was all I needed. With his experience and skills the outcome of my case was positive. I have nothing but the highest respect for Richard!

Charged with DUI, Speeding, and an Unbroken Line Violation. Ended up with a plea bargain for just the Speeding and the Unbroken Line Violation. Officer assumed I was drunk due to my breathe. Even after passing sobriety tests with flying colors. I refused to blow because it was unnecessary after passing the sobriety tests. Richard was very "realistic" with me. No promises or false hope, just the truth which I appreciated. Richard was very prompt in getting me the police report, my hearing, and everything else needed to win my hearing for my ALS, forcing the state to offer a plea bargain.
– Tyler, Avvo, ★★★★★
We unfortunately have had to call on an attorney on several occasions over the last several years. In one situation Richard was successful in mitigating the charge and in another made a more practical suggestion for confronting the issue. We've found Richard Guerriero both forthright and knowledgeable. I would recommend Richard and would look to him for guidance should the need arise again.
– Wayne, Avvo, ★★★★★
In April of 2014 my 19 year old daughter received a violation for Possession of Alcohol by a minor. Had I not contacted Attorney Richard Guerriero this violation could have resulted in her driver's license being suspended and in turn my auto insurance carrier would have dropped us. We are not from NH so I made several calls to different law firms in NH. I was told by 2 separate law firms (in other parts of the state) that Attorney Guerriero would be an excellent choice and they were right! He was able to get my daughter's violation dismissed with 30 hours of community service to be completed over a 5 month period which is a very generous deal. Attorney Guerriero is not only knowledgeable but also a really, really nice guy. I highly recommend him and I am very thankful I found him.
– Maura, Avvo, ★★★★★
I contacted attorney Guerriero, and scheduled a free consultation after being arrested for aggravated DWI in July, 2014. I was surprised that I was not rushed in and out after twenty minutes of legal mumbo, realizing instead that attorney Guerriero's top priority was making sure I completely understood the charges, laws, and possible penalties of my individual situation. This commitment to keeping me informed continued even after I'd retained his services. At no time did I ever feel intimidated, judged, or disrespected by Mr Guerriero or his staff. My trial date in 8th Circuit Court in Keene, NH, was originally October 22, however, attorney Guerriero was able to secure a plea deal and get me in before the judge on July 31, only three weeks after our first meeting. I was extremely pleased with the deal I was granted and the quickness with which attorney Guerriero was able to resolve my issue, allowing me to get on with my life several months before I would have been able to without his help. I would recommend Richard Guerriero, of Lothstein Guerriero, to anyone I know who finds themselves in the unfortunate situation of needing a lawyer.
– Brian S., Avvo, ★★★★★
Ted Lothstein in my opinion is a great seasoned attorney, with a strong knowledge of the law. He also is known in the circuit and respected by other lawyers and judges. He help me beat a serious criminal charge, with threats of a lot of jail time. Without his help I would be in jail right now. He is good at what he does. I recommend hiring him. I'm grateful I did.

Ted and team were very helpful during this stressful time. In Dec 2024 I was arrested for aggravated DUI in Claremont, NH. I found Ted's info on Google and after talking with him I felt very comfortable and knew him and his team were the right folks to help me. Living in a different state Ted was able to get the court to agree to let me appear via phone, he reached out to attorneys in my home state to see how I would be affected at home. Ted and his team were always available to answer my questions and communicated clearly every step of the way. In March 2025 my DUI case got decreased to a reckless driving charge. This was an amazing unusual outcome and I never would have been able to get this without Ted and his team. Thank you for all you did! I definitely recommend Ted and his team for your legal needs.

We retained Ted Lothstein for a very thorny aggravated DUI that probably should have put this violator in county jail for a year. Ted did his homework, listened to his client and presented a very strong case for why this young man should be given some latitude and leniency. He was right and the leniency was justified, but we couldn't have conveyed that as convincingly as Ted did. I can easily use the word "advocate" when describing Ted.

Back in 2019 I was falsely accused of committing a crime. The subsequent police investigations resulted in my arrest and eventually a wrongful conviction. The criminal attorney who represented me throughout the ordeal highly recommended attorney Lothstein and his law firm to do the appeal. The trial transcripts and all of the other required documentation were gathered and submitted, and Lothstein and Guerriero went to work. The case was accepted by the NH Supreme Court, and oral arguments were heard in the fall of 2022. I was able to attend the oral arguments, and watching attorney Lothstein in action was an absolute privilege. Attorney Lothstein had previously explained the percentages of successful appeals to me, but I left the oral arguments feeling very, very, hopeful. On March 30, 2023, I received word that the conviction was reversed and remanded back to the Superior Court where the trial was conducted. The opinion that the Supreme Court issued was a very strong, concise, and unanimous decision. It is a decision that will be cited in motions and briefs far into the future, and will hopefully help prevent future wrongful convictions due to the law created in our case. It also gave the State of New Hampshire really no choice on their next action, as evidenced by the verbiage on the Notice of Nolle Prosequi that we received from the Superior Court: “Given Supreme Court Order of reverse and remand, the State is not pursuing this charge.” These results were not achieved by accident. The dedication given to this case by attorney Lothstein and his entire legal staff was incredible. From day one I was treated as a person as opposed to just a client. The level of comfort that I felt from the first day we spoke was as high as it could have possibly been, and it remained that way until the day the ruling was announced. The victory that we celebrated in the following days was an extremely hard, well fought, and justly deserved one that has been instrumental in helping me “recover” from a nightmare that continued for only several weeks shy of four very long years. If anyone reading this review has any doubt about who I would recommend to someone in need of an appellate attorney (or any other practice areas they specialize in), you should try reading this review again from the beginning. I know I have said it many times, but once again- attorney Lothstein, Melanie, and everyone else- Thank you again for all that you have done.

I retained Ted Lothstein to represent me in a rather complicated case in which I defended myself and was subsequently arrested and charged with a felony. I was completely blindsided by the inefficient manner of the NH criminal justice system and Ted was invaluable in his forthright manner and patience guiding me through the process. The end result was a negotiated plea deal that I found to be palatable and just. I highly recommend Ted and his staff should you find yourself in a similar circumstance.
– Harry W., Google, ★★★★★
Attorney Lothstein did an excellent job with our case. He got to know our family and understood our situation. He was professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. We thank him for the best outcome we could expect.
– Kenneth H., Google, ★★★★★
I was most fortunate that Theodore Lothstein accepted my case. He diligently contested the excessive penalties the prosection would have the court inflict upon me. The Sentencing Memorandum exerts a significant part in the final outcome. Any prospective client should scrutinize the memoranda of various lawyers under consideration. Attorney Lothstein painstakingly composed this document for my case, and thus, with his representation, I was proscribed probation. Feel free to ask to examine this Memorandum. In conclusion, anyone in the granite state in need of legal representation would be wise to seek Attorney Lothstein's assistance.

Attorney Lothstein is a must hire! He's amazing in the courtroom! As well as trustworthy, funny, confident, quick witted, and calm. Atty Lothstein successfully argued and won two cases for a fair price. Worth every cent! Do not look any further. He is the only lawyer I’ll ever use.

I obviously met Ted under very embarrassing circumstances. I was arrested around Christmas for a DUI in Bedford and ended up having a breathalyzer that tested at .15. Right away I called several lawyers just hoping someone would tell me I had a case. Before I even received my police report, I had lawyers asking me to come in, talk to them, they felt confident in defending me. Which every phone call sounded like a salesmen. After a week or so, I had calmed down and had done some research online and found Lothstein Guerriero. I made my decision on their reviews and the fact that they commented on responses. I sent a message online and Ted called me the next day. Over the phone he sounded pleasant and nothing like the salesmen I had heard previously. I told him my side of the story and all he said was that he needed both sides. He asked me to come in and discuss the case “after” reading the police report. I felt that he was going to be honest and he was. He told me there’s never a guarantee he can give for a win. My license was suspended three days before the DMV ALS hearing. We went to the ALS hearing and won. I felt great when I walked into the DMV office and got my license back ten minutes after the hearing. A couple months later we decided to go to trial because he was able to have the breathalyzer suppressed. We won again! I drove away with no fines and only a total of three days license suspension because of Ted Lothstein, his staff, their legal knowledge and experience. Highly recommended! Please call because he’ll at least give it to you straight!

In June of 2011 I was arrested for DWI an attorney friend recommended Attorney Lothstein and am I glad he did. Due to Ted asking the correct questions we won the DMV hearing. Then in February 2012 at the Concord District Court Ted was able to negotiate a Negligent Driving plea. This meant only a ten day loss of license and no criminal record! Overall Attorney Lothstein provided competent service in a compassionate and professional manner. I highly recommended him.

Attorney Lothstein represented my son in a DUI case earlier this year. My son had refused to submit to a chemical test, which could lead to an automatic suspension of his license and possible DUI conviction. Speed had been the factor for the traffic stop. Attorney Lothstein has a wonderful relationship and shared respect with the local judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement. He was so responsive and gave us individualized attention. Through his thorough review of all the discovery provided, and his ability to work so well with all parties involved, Attorney Lothstein was able to achieve the most positive outcome- a lesser charge of reckless driving. I would highly recommend Attorney Lothstein!

I have just gone through a challenging time following a traumatizing, tragic auto/motorcycle accident that led to 14 months of legal proceedings, culminating in a trial at Concord District Court in October 2024. I was charged with vehicular assault as a Class A misdemeanor, which could have resulted in a year in jail, significant fines, and more. Ted Lothstein was recommended to me by lawyer friends of my brother who were familiar with his work. From the very beginning, Ted demonstrated a strong belief in my understanding of the accident. Over the months we worked together, which included a fatality hearing at the DMV, he was consistently responsive to my questions and concerns. His explanations were clear, and he communicated quickly and compassionately. Ted dedicated considerable time to phone calls, often including my brother, to discuss my case and help us navigate the process. Ted was clear in stating the various possible outcomes and the various timelines I could expect for receiving decisions. He provided honest assessments of the most likely results and outlined his strategy for the trial in case the judge ruled against me. His preparation for both the DMV hearings and the district court trial was thorough. He shared with me through either, or both, emails and phone conversations, all the communication he was having with the judge, prosecutor, and hearing officer. He was prepared at both the hearing and trial with his arguments and crucial evidence, including videos of the cyclist prior to the accident as well as the accident itself. Additionally, he had maps to help clarify the scene of the accident. Furthermore, he hired an exceptionally experienced accident reconstructionist and maintained communication both with him and a key witness who had provided dashcam footage. Ted invested significant time in preparing both witnesses for the DMV hearing and the trial. During the trial, I was particularly impressed by his questioning of all witnesses. He was respectful to everyone I felt. Ultimately, I was found not guilty. I highly recommend Ted for his skills, hard work, responsiveness, professionalism, communication abilities, organization, preparedness, dedication, and compassion.

I was represented by attorney Doty in an administrative matter before a licensing board. She was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and diligent in her work to obtain the best possible outcome and help me with my situation. She made sure to word things in a way that felt natural to me but also never strayed into gray areas. She took the time to understand my situation and made sure to represent it honestly and factually. She is honest and above board, and I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.

Attorney Ted Lothstein was incredibly diligent in helping me achieve the best possible outcome for my case. He was quick to answer and return my calls and never made me feel judged or culpable.

My name is Morgan - I earned a DUI in September 2023. I hired Ted as my attorney as the case was too complicated for me to deal with on my own - I got the DUI in NH, but I reside in Florida. I needed help to navigate the court systems in both states as well as in my absence from NH. Ted did a fantastic job. He and his support staff were on top of everything in the most helpful of ways. I am easily confused and they explained everything to me and really helped me get through the process as painlessly as possible. I am completely satisfied with the job they did for me and I feel the fee was well earned. I am planning on using Ted for all my future DUI's from here on out. ........That's a joke.

October 22, 2022 was the day I made the biggest mistake of my life! I was arrested for a DUI by NH State Police. A few days went by and I now had to face the reality of what was to come next. So, I went online and read reviews about choosing an attorney, and after narrowing it down to 3, I gave Mr. Lothstein's office a call. I spoke with the secretary and she had great things to say about Mr. Lothstein. So, I thought I would give him a chance. I set up a free telephone consult and he was very empathetic with my situation. What I liked most was his honesty with my situation. He didn't make any empty promises about getting me 100% off the charges. I appreciated that. So, after meeting with Mr. Lothstein and discussing my case, he informed me that I was looking at potential 1 year license suspension, plus a speeding fine. Which could've added 6 months to my sentence. This news was discouraging, but of course my fault! Reference letters were submitted on my behalf, and Mr. Lothstein met with the prosecuting attorney. When Mr. Lothstein called me and told me that he negotiated my sentence down to, 6 months suspended license, with 2 months already served, and they threw out the speeding fine, I was ecstatic with the news! Calling Mr. Lothstein was the best decision I could've made!! I will never be in this situation again, I promise you that. But, if it happens to anyone I know. I know what attorney to tell them to contact!

The case was accepted by the NH Supreme Court, and oral arguments were heard in the fall of 2022. I was able to attend the oral arguments, and watching attorney Lothstein in action was an absolute privilege. Attorney Lothstein had previously explained the percentages of successful appeals to me, but I left the oral arguments feeling very, very, hopeful. On March 30, 2023, I received word that the conviction was reversed and remanded back to the Superior Court where the trial was conducted. The opinion that the Supreme Court issued was a very strong, concise, and unanimous decision. It is a decision that will be cited in motions and briefs far into the future, and will hopefully help prevent future wrongful convictions due to the law created in our case. It also gave the State of New Hampshire really no choice on their next action, as evidenced by the verbiage on the Notice of Nolle Prosequi that we received from the Superior Court: “Given Supreme Court Order of reverse and remand, the State is not pursuing this charge.” These results were not achieved by accident. The dedication given to this case by attorney Lothstein and his entire legal staff was incredible. From day one I was treated as a person as opposed to just a client. The level of comfort that I felt from the first day we spoke was as high as it could have possibly been, and it remained that way until the day the ruling was announced. The victory that we celebrated in the following days was an extremely hard, well fought, and justly deserved one that has been instrumental in helping me “recover” from a nightmare that continued for only several weeks shy of four very long years. If anyone reading this review has any doubt about who I would recommend to someone in need of an appellate attorney (or any other practice areas they specialize in), you should try reading this review again from the beginning. I know I have said it many times, but once again- attorney Lothstein, Melanie, and everyone else- Thank you again for all that you have done.

I retained Ted Lothstein to represent me in a rather complicated case in which I defended myself and was subsequently arrested and charged with a felony. I was completely blindsided by the inefficient manner of the NH criminal justice system and Ted was invaluable in his forthright manner and patience guiding me through the process. The end result was a negotiated plea deal that I found to be palatable and just. I highly recommend Ted and his staff should you find yourself in a similar circumstance.

My grandson who we adopted as our son was charged with sexual assault on one of my other grandchildren. It was a difficult case with the accuser saying things that we did not believe. He was guilty until proved innocent in this case. It was a no win situation for our family. Attorney Lothstein was compassionate, thorough, and knowledgeable. He dove into our family situation and got the best result that we could have hoped for. We are thankful that a good friend recomended him to us.

I was most fortunate that Theodore Lothstein accepted my case. He diligently contested the excessive penalties the prosection would have the court inflict upon me. The Sentencing Memorandum exerts a significant part in the final outcome. Any prospective client should scrutinize the memoranda of various lawyers under consideration. Attorney Lothstein painstakingly composed this document for my case, and thus, with his representation, I was proscribed probation. Feel free to ask to examine this Memorandum. In conclusion, anyone in the granite state in need of legal representation would be wise to seek Attorney Lothstein's assistance.

I am not from NH and had to find an attorney for a DUI. I met with several NH attorneys I had heard advertising and then came across Ted Lothstein's name. I was comfortable and trusted him from our first meeting. He was always very prepared with an objective in sight. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the time he spent on this DUI. If you are unsure who to have represent you for a DUI, I am hear to tell you Ted Lothstein is the person. We had a positive outcome and I am forever grateful.

If you have a DUI or DWI and looking for an attorney, select Ted Lothstein. He handled my case quickly, professionally and explained all of my options. I was totally humiliated with this DWI offense and having attorney Lothstein take charge of the case was the best decision I made. Highly recommended.

My neighbor accused me of stalking. Mr. Lothstein understood what the real issue was, it involved a property dispute. His excellent skill in cross examination of the complainants revealed what the true issue was and I was in no way stalking. The judge agreed, and I was found not guilty and the case was dismissed. His office staff is very professional and curious.In addition his fees were reasonable. I didn’t come to Mr. Lothstein just by chance. I did some research and I had a conference call with him and my New York Lawyer. My lawyer is NYC said this guy is good. With the dismissed case I say Mr. Lothstein is GREAT!

I would highly recommend Atty. Lothstein for your criminal defense needs. He is professional, well-prepared and he gets the job done! My petition to be removed from the Sex Offender Registry went before the Carroll County Superior Court in May 2020 and after presentation of evidence and testimony in the case, my request was granted. I believe this positive outcome was due to the fact that Atty. Lothstein prepared me for my case making sure I was comfortable with all possible questions I might be posed with during testimony. Atty. Lothstein also did the necessary research into these types of cases and knew the important points to focus on that led to the terrific outcome!

Ted Lothstein was recommended to me by my step mom when I was arrested for my DUI last October. I loved how he gave it to me straight. I walked in feeling his office hopeless and the likelihood of beating my case seemed impossible. I left his office feeling I was in good hands and knowing he was going to do everything in his power to help me threw this difficult process. He was able to win not only my ALS hearing but the actual DUI charge! I will be forever grateful for his service and recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a bad spot with the law.

I consulted with and was told by 2 different lawyers that I had no case and that a DWI conviction was GUARANTEED . I then spoke with Mr. Lothstein and hired his services on the spot. His exceptional knowledge on DWI law and police procedure was evident immediately. In the end Mr. Lothstein got the DWI charges dropped and I pled guilty to a reckless driving. Best phone call I ever made.

So in 2016 I was charged with simple assault after knowingly assaulting my daughters boyfriend on camera inside dunkin doughnuts.I did so because he had been assaulting her for a while and that day I got a call from a family friend who her as well as two others witnessed and made police statements saying they saw him assaulting her yet again behind dunkins.As any good parent would do I flew down there to defend her.I made no excuses for what I did and debated weather or not to even hire a lawyer ,after all I was caught on camera but ultimately decided to do so only because I know how unjust the justice system can be so I thought it was probably in my best interest despite the fact that I figured there was little to nothing a layer could do for me besides make sure I was treated reasonably fairly.Well long story short due to Teds determination,strategic planning and having no problem or reservations in stepping on the prosecutions and town police prosecutors toes he was able to plea it down to a violation accompanied with a fine I had to pay.What a victory in my eyes!I know two wrongs dont make a right and it could be debated if I did the right thing or not but at the end of the day I do realize despite my feelings of he deserved it I do realize it was illegal.Ted and his paralegal Melanie are both very interested and compassionate people who work very hard for there clients best interest. I simply found his firm by a online google search so it was somewhat of a crap shoot but I feel so grateful and lucky I picked Lothsteen & Guerriero.Job well done!For anyone who may read this if you have any reservations dont.Look no further if your interested in hiring what I feel is the best lawyer around.Thank you so much!

I was stopped on my birthday and cited with Reckless Operation and told to appear in Laconia District court. The first thing I did was find out what the consequences of the charge was then I knew I needed a lawyer to help me through this ordeal. I needed a good lawyer who was also compassionate. After the Free Consultation I knew that Mr. Lothstein was the Lawyer for me. I had interviewed several lawyers before hiring his law firm. One lawyer just wanted to be my friend and another wouldn’t even consider plea bargaining. He just wanted my money and to plead guilty. I felt like Mr. Lothstein not only explained the consequences if found guilty but looked at ways to prove my innocence. If it weren’t for Mr. Lothstein’s knowledge of the law and his compassionate ways I would not have made it through the few months leading up to the final trial date. He explained everything to me and was always available to answer my phone calls or emails. Mr. Lothstein saved my life. If it had not been for his negotiations and advocacy on my part I would have lost my license and my job. Through his expertise in the laws, my final outcome was reduced to a speeding violation.

The following testimonial was posted by an appeal client on several platforms, including Google Reviews and Avvo. The testimonial is reproduced here with the client's permission. We have not changed a single word. On the "Victories on Appeal" page, you can read more about this remarkable case.

Back in 2019 I was falsely accused of committing a crime. The subsequent police investigations resulted in my arrest and eventually a wrongful conviction. The criminal attorney who represented me throughout the ordeal highly recommended attorney Lothstein and his law firm to do the appeal.

The trial transcripts and all of the other required documentation were gathered and submitted, and Lothstein and Guerriero went to work. The case was accepted by the NH Supreme Court, and oral arguments were heard in the fall of 2022. I was able to attend the oral arguments, and watching attorney Lothstein in action was an absolute privilege. Attorney Lothstein had previously explained the percentages of successful appeals to me, but I left the oral arguments feeling very, very, hopeful.

On March 30, 2023, I received word that the conviction was reversed and remanded back to the Superior Court where the trial was conducted. The opinion that the Supreme Court issued was a very strong, concise, and unanimous decision. It is a decision that will be cited in motions and briefs far into the future, and will hopefully help prevent future wrongful convictions due to the law created in our case.

It also gave the State of New Hampshire really no choice on their next action, as evidenced by the verbiage on the Notice of Nolle Prosequi that we received from the Superior Court: “Given Supreme Court Order of reverse and remand, the State is not pursuing this charge.”

These results were not achieved by accident. The dedication given to this case by attorney Lothstein and his entire legal staff was incredible. From day one I was treated as a person as opposed to just a client. The level of comfort that I felt from the first day we spoke was as high as it could have possibly been, and it remained that way until the day the ruling was announced. The victory that we celebrated in the following days was an extremely hard, well fought, and justly deserved one that has been instrumental in helping me “recover” from a nightmare that continued for only several weeks shy of four very long years.

I searched online for various DUI attorneys and spoke with a few and found that Ted Lothstein seemed to be the most suitable option. He was able to examine the case and ask the difficult questions, and I found the case to be overall significantly more successful with his counsel and defense. I would recommend speaking with him if you are in deliberation regarding the proper attorney.

In March of 2014 my life was about to change forever. I had been charged with a Class A Felony for embezzlement. I was scared, devastated and did not know where to turn. I was highly recommended to Attorney Theodore Lothstein by another lawyer who did not have the ability to take on my case. I am so glad that I followed up on that lead and called him. His professionalism, compassion and understanding went well beyond what I could ever hope for. From the very first meeting, he fully explained each step of the process of the case and he answered all my many questions and concerns. The stress of not knowing what your future holds is overwhelming, however, both Attorney Lothstein and his staff not only treated me with respect, but they followed up on my numerous requests and kept me and my family informed throughout the entire process. They managed to make a very stressful period in our lives more bearable. I was facing 7-1/2 to 15 years in prison for my crime and Attorney Lothstein worked tirelessly on my defense and he managed to get my sentence reduced to a cap plea of 90 days in jail to be served on weekends. Without his expertise, impressive skills and his knowledge of case law, I would not be able to hold onto my job, take care of my family or have the ability to continue paying off my restitution. I would highly recommend Attorney Lothstein to anyone in need of a highly skilled professional defense attorney. 01/29/2015

I researched on the internet to find most suitable DUI attorney for my case. I spoke to couple of them, but none of the impressed me more than Ted Lothstein with his knowledge and professionalism. He is one of the few if not the only one that didn’t see me only as “business opportunity” and way to make extra money. He even offered to me what no other attorney offered which was to only charge me half of his fee if we make a plea deal and not end up going to the trail. All other attorney’s asked for full fee payment regardless of if we end up with trial or not. After our initial discussion we both concluded it will be tough case to fight given what we knew about my case and making a deal with prosecution was the best option. I asked Ted what he thought if I did this on my own and plead guilty in exchange for minimum sentence and he agreed that I should be able to do this on my own. Almost every other attorney have told me that was not smart idea. I hope I never ever will need this kind of service from Ted or any other attorney, but for those of you who might need please make sure you contact Ted Lothestein. Don’t take my words for it…do initial consultation or even 15 minute call and see it for yourself. M.J.

Hire this Attorney! I was referred to Ted from a friend who couldn't say enough great things about him. Glad I did! Not only did Ted beat a DUI conviction on me, but also, we won the ALS hearing, which from what I understand, is not easily done. His experience and knowledge combined with his welcoming sense of humor, made the experience a lesson I will not soon forget. Thank you Ted!

In June of 2011 I was arrested for DWI an attorney friend recommended Attorney Lothstein and am I glad he did. Due to Ted asking the correct questions we won the DMV hearing. Then in February 2012 at the Concord District Court Ted was able to negotiate a Negligent Driving plea. This meant only a ten day loss of license and no criminal record! Overall Attorney Lothstein provided competent service in a compassionate and professional manner. I highly recommended him.

I was charged with DWI on Nov25th I reseseach some DWI lawyers, and chose Ted Lothstein and it was the best investment i made. Ted came recommended from a family freind and they said he truely cared about his clients and not just about getting his money. After talking to Ted and presenting him with my case his conclusion was that there was some faults in the officers arrest and he thought i had a good case although it was still going to be touch and go and hard to win completely. I felt confindent in him and i was going with him. I hold a CDL clas B license and i was scared for my future. He went to work and the result was successful my case was plea bargained down to wreckless operation losing my license for 60 days and no DWI. He is very thorough and has no quit if you have made a mistake and you need a great DWI attorney you want look at Ted Lothstein. .

I Mitchell guay was arrested for a DUI, I knew I was intoxicated and shouldnt have been driving, but was still able to know what I was doing, and drive perfectly. In the end I was pulled over for a "dim headlight" in a white 1972 mgb and was also a suspect in a federal crime later finding out that it was a small dark colored truck smashing mailboxes. In a panic I knew of one lawyer and had read a few of his achievements over his years and had talked to him on occasion. This lawyer referred me to Ted Lothstein. Ted listened to what I had to say with a few relating questions here and there, and even though this was the first time I had met him he believed every word I had to say. Right then and there he decided to take my case. Later in the case, nearing my hearing date I had talked to Ted again. In the back of my head I was thinking the judge would immediately convict me of DUI, especially knowing my blood test results. Out of the blue I get a call from Ted saying, great news I have a plea bargain for reckless driving.Which meant No sr22, nor the 6 to 9 month loss of license, and i agreed to take it. In the end I ended up with a reckless driving charge, which entailed a 2 month loss of license, probation and a fine. Ted was able to find an angle that wasnt to weak or to strong for the prosecutor while knowing what trouble I was in and what my requests were. Not only is Ted a great person and fun to talk to about anything but he is extremely knowledgable, knows what he is talking about and really dedicates his time and effort for you.

Ted listened to what I had to say with a few relating questions here and there, and even though this was the first time I had met him he believed every word I had to say. Right then and there he decided to take my case. Later in the case, nearing my hearing date I had talked to Ted again. In the back of my head I was thinking the judge would immediately convict me of DUI, especially knowing my blood test results. Out of the blue I get a call from Ted saying, great news I have a plea bargain for reckless driving.Which meant No sr22, nor the 6 to 9 month loss of license, and i agreed to take it. In the end I ended up with a reckless driving charge, which entailed a 2 month loss of license, probation and a fine. Ted was able to find an angle that wasnt to weak or to strong for the prosecutor while knowing what trouble I was in and what my requests were. Not only is Ted a great person and fun to talk to about anything but he is extremely knowledgable, knows what he is talking about and really dedicates his time and effort for you.

My case occurred in Derry District court, NH. I was charged with DWI and I knew I was innocent but that didn't seam to matter until I met Mr Lothstein. He was easy to talk to and knowledgeable. I faced a possible 8 year suspension for something I didn't do but because I refused the breathalyzer I felt like it was assumed that I was at fault. He impressed me with his knowledge, experience and expertise while preparing for trial. The trial was about to begin when Attorney Lothstein persuaded the prosecutor to dismiss the DWI in exchange for a guilty plea to reckless driving and other minor motor vehicle offenses, saving me from an 8 year loss of license. I can not tell you what a relief to myself and family. I would highly recommend Attorney Lothstein. He's the best.

"I consulted with and was told by 2 different lawyers that I had no case and that a DWI conviction was GUARANTEED . I then spoke with Mr. Lothstein and hired his services on the spot. His exceptional knowledge on DWI law and police procedure was evident immediately. In the end Mr. Lothstein got the DWI charges dropped and I pled guilty to a reckless driving. Best phone call I ever made."

– Benjamin, Testimonial provided 1/31/2018, Case in Seabrook District Court, Seabrook NH

"I was stopped in a roadblock when coming home from a night out with my wife. I refused a breath test, and I was charged with DWI in the Laconia District Court. I have a CDL (commercial driver’s license), and depend on it for my livelihood, as a building contractor. I knew that if I lost my license because of the refusal of the breath test, or because of a DWI conviction, I would lose my CDL for a whole year, which would destroy my business, and would be devastating to my family.

I hired Ted Lothstein to defend me, and he did a great job. He got me out of the refusal suspension, and got me out of the DWI – this saved my CDL. Instead, I was only convicted of reckless operation, which is a traffic violation; I lost my regular driver’s license for 90 days, but did not lose my CDL. I would urge any person charged with DWI in NH, to speak with Ted Lothstein before they make the decision who to hire as their lawyer."

"I was charged in the Keene District Court with driving under the influence, Speeding, and a lane violation – crossing the center line. I had refused the breath test. I hired Richard Guerriero. He was very “realistic” with me. No promises or false hope, just the truth, which I appreciated.

Richard was very prompt in getting me the police report, my hearing, and everything else needed to win my hearing for my ALS, forcing the State to offer a plea bargain. He got me a plea bargain where the DUI was dropped and I was convicted only of minor traffic offenses, speeding and the lane violation!"

"In March of 2014 my life was about to change forever. I had been charged with a Class A Felony for embezzlement. I was scared, devastated and did not know where to turn. I was highly recommended to Attorney Theodore Lothstein by another lawyer who did not have the ability to take on my case. I am so glad that I followed up on that lead and called him. His professionalism, compassion and understanding went well beyond what I could ever hope for. From the very first meeting, he fully explained each step of the process of the case and he answered all my many questions and concerns.

The stress of not knowing what your future holds is overwhelming, however, both Attorney Lothstein and his staff not only treated me with respect, but they followed up on my numerous requests and kept me and my family informed throughout the entire process. They managed to make a very stressful period in our lives more bearable.

I was facing 7-1/2 to 15 years in prison for my crime and Attorney Lothstein worked tirelessly on my defense and he managed to get my sentence reduced to a cap plea of 90 days in jail to be served on weekends. Without his expertise, impressive skills and his knowledge of case law, I would not be able to hold onto my job, take care of my family or have the ability to continue paying off my restitution. I would highly recommend Attorney Lothstein to anyone in need of a highly skilled professional defense attorney."

"When our son was arrested for a serious crime, Richard Guerriero was recommended to us by two independent sources. At the initial consultation we knew immediately that he was the right person to defend our son. As well as being an experienced and skilled attorney, we found him to be straightforward, ethical, responsive, and caring. We were also pleased that he was upfront and fair about his fees.

Even though it was a first offense and our son had never been in trouble with the law before, the nature of the charges could have resulted in a very lengthy prison sentence. Attorney Guerriero worked diligently with the prosecutor to get the amount of time reduced to below the statutory minimum. While we were at times impatient with the process and delay in getting information, we soon realized that Attorney Guerriero was true to his word to take things one step at a time and keep us informed as soon as he could. He is conservative and cautious about expectations, never promising more than he can deliver. However, in our son’s case, he delivered more than we could have expected or hoped for."

"Attorney Ted Lothstein represented my daughter in Hillsborough County Superior Court-North in April 2016. She was facing three assault charges. Ted worked very hard and was well prepared for the case. He was tough and aggressive but always managed stay calm and respectful. He did his job well without alienating the judge or members of the jury. It was a complicated and confusing case, but Ted manage to get the jury to understand the facts. If convicted of any of the charges my daughter was facing large fines and possible jail time.The jury deliberated less than an hour before returning a unanimous not guilty verdict on all three charges. If any of my family or friends ever need legal representation I would definitely recommend they retain Ted."

My son was arrested for DUI in NH. He was underage and refused the breathalyzer and field sobriety tests. We are from out of state and knew he needed a lawyer but didn’t know who to turn to. We are grateful that we found Attorney Ted Lothstein. As soon as we contacted him, he responded promptly and explained the situation and all of my son’s options. He made the process easy for us with clear explanations, instructions and honest expectations. Being located out of state was a concern but we were easily able to conduct business through phone, text messages, email and my son was able to appear at his hearing via web cam so he didn’t miss any of his college classes. Most importantly, Attorney Lothstein did an excellent job preparing and presenting the case in court with the optimal result of a not guilty verdict! My son and I are greatly relieved that his arrest record will be annulled and are very appreciative of Attorney Lothstein’s hard work and expertise.

Dear Ted,
I can’t thank you enough for your help in having a favorable outcome. I am not sure what you and Mr. [Prosecutor] discussed but I know that what ever it was, was to my advantage. You have been so supportive in this whole ordeal and now I can finally step back, take a deep breathe and go on with my life. The past few months have been stressful to say the least. You’re an excellent lawyer and person. Hopefully our paths will not cross again on a criminal issue. I would definitely recommend you to anyone. Your professional attitude was what made me hire you for my case. Please thank Emily for me for all the times she answered my questions and concerns as well. You definitely have a wonderful practice. The world needs more caring people like you in the justice system.

"As a prior client of Ted Lothstein, PLLC Concord, NH., that both Ted Lothstein and I believe we both regard as a very successful outcome to my case.

Before I hired Ted Lothstein I did research on several Attorneys representing criminal cases and I found Ted Lothstein as the best and most successful for representation and case outcome.

My arrest and how I was handled from the beginning certainly was not how I should have been dealt with. There were many aspects of this case surrounding facts, hospital records and a Trooper witness and Prosecutor that saw this case from Ted Lothstein's professional expertise.

The surrounding facts that my husband and myself were in an alcohol related incidence. Not a criminal act, however; self defense, further, That a whiteness falsely stated this incidence as being that I was the aggressor that persuaded my arrest as the officer saw this as facts.

I was frightened beyond belief about the thought of possibly going to prison for five to seven years and just the thoughts of this was overwhelming. In fact, I was unable to be in my home. I was in a detrimental situation of not only becoming homeless but loosing my car and my future.

Ted Lothstein's precision in law is outstanding! He dissects facts clearly and precisely states all the facts so there is no question about the case and the successful outcome. I highly recommend Ted Lothstein as your Attorney."
