William H. Shaheen and Steven M. Gordon served together as the United States Attorney and Assistant United States Attorney for New Hampshire from 1976 through 1981. When they left the United States Attorney's Office, and contemplated private practice together, they saw a need for a law firm built on a foundation of total commitment to client satisfaction.

Since that beginning, Shaheen & Gordon has flourished, earning statewide, regional and national accolades for its legal representation. Their trial experience has been used to create a diverse litigation practice where client claims are both prosecuted and defended.

The firm serves institutional and individual clients throughout Northern New England (NH, ME, MA, VT) in a broad range of legal matters including, but not limited to personal injury law, State and Federal criminal defense, divorce, paternity and child custody matters, workers compensation and social security disability matters, real estate law, health care law, corporate fraud and internal investigations, governmental affairs, employment matters, libel and slander law, wills, trusts and estates, intellectual property and unfair competition, and general corporate and commercial representation. The firm also encourages its attorneys to be active in the civic life of New Hampshire, thus our lawyers have taken lead roles in major community initiatives and programs.
