Personal Injury
A 10-year-old child attended a local fair with her parents where antique machinery was being displayed. The machinery was displayed in a hands-on fashion for adults and children to touch and feel. This very curious young girl was doing exactly that when one of the gears on the machine slipped cutting the tip of her index finger. Surgeons at a local medical facility were able to carefully reattach the tip of her finger. With the assistance of cosmetic surgeons, the finger almost appears normal and this young girl has regained the majority of her flexibility and dexterity with the finger. A settlement was reached, after filing a lawsuit but before going to trial.

Numerous surgeries were performed to repair his injured leg, which surgeries were followed by many months of physical therapy and disability. A favorable settlement was reached on behalf of this young man. His mother was appointed guardian over his estate and the funds were invested on his behalf until he reaches the age of majority.

He was taken by ambulance to the Catholic Medical Center where he was treated for his injuries. Our client underwent a lengthy course of physical therapy to resolve his arm fractures.

Attorney Tenn successfully settled the case for an amount that provided our client with compensation for his medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering, all as allowed under NH law.
Physical Force Used on Student
Personal Injury
Our client, a young student was attending a special needs school for children with behavioral and emotional disorders. Employees of the school are trained to deal with students' strong emotional outbursts and are authorized by the school to use physical restraint, if necessary. After the child had an emotional outburst following a verbal altercation with another student, he was physically restrained by a staff member at his school. The employee used such force in taking the child "to the ground", that the child sustained a broken tibia. The child underwent closed reduction surgery where screws were placed in his ankle.
The family contacted Attorney Tenn to investigate the incident. A claim was initiated against the special needs school on behalf of the child for the injury he sustained due to the excessive force used by the teacher. After voluntary settlement talks with the school's insurance company came to a standstill, Attorney Tenn placed the matter into mediation and obtained a settlement of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) for the child. Thereafter, Attorney Tenn helped the child and his family place the monies into a structured annuity, such that the funds will continue to increase until the child reaches the age of majority.

Glenn was charged with Transporting Alcohol and Driving While Intoxicated in New Hampshire.
Glenn is a Massachusetts resident with two prior convictions for DWI. A third conviction would have resulted in an eight (8) year loss of license in Massachusetts.

Case Dismissed - DWI
Criminal Defense
Peter was traveling on Route 104 in Alexandria, New Hampshire when he lost control of his motor vehicle due to snow and ice and traveled off the roadway.

After digging for some time, a local police officer arrived to offer assistance. The officer detected an odor of alcohol on Peter's breath and asked Peter to perform field sobriety tests.

Our client, a husband, and wife, moved to NH to build their dream retirement home in a lovely New England suburb. The contractor hired many subcontractors with limited experience in residential construction and whose workmanship was substandard and in numerous cases, contrary to local building codes. After filing suit and attaching the contractor and subcontractor’s properties, a voluntary settlement was reached, which compensated our clients for the aggravation associated with the defective construction, and the pain for a new contractor to perform all of the necessary repairs and complete their retirement home.
