Andrea has completed many specialized training programs conducted by the National College for DUI Defense, an elite group of lawyers and DUI Defense specialists recognized by the American Bar Association. As a member of this group, she is dedicated to protecting the constitutional rights of those accused of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Her Employment law practice has run the gamut from representing doctors who worked at Veteran Administration hospitals throughout the United States, as well as police officers, command officers , and fire fighters and command staff in NH who have been defamed or sexually harassed or discriminated against both under Federal law and NH State law. She has brought cases in both the New Hampshire Commission on Civil Rights as well as the EEOC in Boston. She has successfully negotiated settlements in most of these cases.
The location of her practice makes it possible to represent accident victims from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island and New York, as well as out-of-state residents who are facing criminal or traffic charges in New Hampshire.
