Recently I got a scary letter from the IRS indicating a trust was paid to me so we owed more money…read moreon our taxes. However there was no such trust! I had to find someone to sort this out who could tell the IRS this money was never ours but I didn't know where to begin. After careful googling of the address the IRS gave us I found Barbara Dehart's law office and spoke to her secretary. I was very impressed that upon hearing me describe the situation to her secretary, Barbara herself picked up the phone to talk to me. Any lawyer I have ever worked with is often too busy to come to the phone, let alone for someone who was never a client! But she did. And she was very kind and gave me some good advice on how to sort this mess out. I requested she fax a letter on my behalf indicating this trust was never paid to me and she was clear that she could not do it that day but I would have it no later than Monday. She went over the information we should include in the later. Sure enough, Monday morning there it was. I don't live in NH but if you do and you need a lawyer, rest assured you'd get top notch treatment from Barbara Dehart. If she is this kind to non-clients I am sure her client-service is even better!

SAVED MY LIFE My…read moreestranged wife and her boyfriend had hired three high-powered lawyers, demanding a third of my income for ten years, renewable at their whims. I'm 57 - that would have destroyed my financial future. My previous lawyer had already charged me ten thousand dollars in monthly fees before we'd ever even spoken to a judge, and demanded another ten to finish the job, so I was forced to walk away, saying "enough is enough!" That left me desperate: I was facing three crack lawyers with no representation, a month before pre-trial. I asked everywhere for help, and finally a public defender told me "I know JUST the guy". The next day, a man with a tough, no-nonsense tone called me back. He asked me for details, listened carefully and said "I think I can help you," he said, "come out to my office and we'll talk". When Jason Sullivan came to the hall to meet me, he looked like a part-time boxer: tough, with a gleam of humor in his eye. His handshake was strong, his eye contact unwavering. From the outset he made it clear that he was not out to extract maximum payments from me, and that he really, really disliked cheats and swindlers. "So what are you hoping to get out of this?" he asked, listening patiently as I responded. "I just want her out of my life. Without having to pay her huge amounts of money". "That sounds reasonable", he said; "I think we can get that for you". And for the next three months, he went to bat for me. For the first time since the lawsuit had started, I had a champion in my corner, ready and able to fight for me. Jason was careful, methodical, painstaking. He picked up on subtle things my previous attorney hadn't even noticed: my ex had signed an affidavit claiming she didn't own a car, then cited the need for gas and oil for the car she didn't own. During the hearing, Jason was calm, measured, and polite, as my ex asserted lie after lie; pretending to need a restraining order when she had no cause, claiming to have been sleeping on friends' couches when she had been living with her boyfriend for years; claiming to barely speak English, when she had a masters degree in teaching the language. Jason had coached me on staying quiet while he handled the situation, so I held back, even when the urge to blurt out "She's lying!" was almost overwhelming. He was right. The judge dismissed the restraining order, and her lawyers backed down; the final settlement was about a twentieth what they'd been seeking, and Jason never charged me another dime beyond his retainer. When the dust settled, he invited me into his office, as happy as I was with the outcome. There was no doubt that he genuinely cared what happened to me, and his parting words were: "now that it's over, you have a great job and you've got a good life ahead of you." And that was how Jason Sullivan saved my life.

I realized that I was in over my head and needed to get some assistance. I called Attorney Wade's office in tears and he promptly called me back and his responses truly honored the urgency and fear I was feeling. I met with him first thing in the morning, and the mess of paperwork I dropped on his desk closely mirrored the mess in my mind. He reviewed my notices and very calmly and clearly explained the options I had, which had not been presented by my revenue officer. He explained that he could certainly represent me, and at very reasonable rates, but he also stated that he thought I could navigate this on my own and save myself the legal fees. He took me though the exact forms I needed to file and in which order to tackle them, reviewed every route I could take, gave me contacts to call, and waited patiently while I took detailed notes on everything. I left his office and immediately started working my way though his to-do list, and within 24 hours I had levies lifted and a new, alternative solution in place. He even followed up via email several times to assist me in my process and answered additional questions. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and honest. I would not hesitate to use him in the future if I find myself in this terrible mess ever again.
