Employing legal counsel from out of the area can backfire; they charge their hourly rate for travel from their office to the location of the hearing, and their rates are typically much higher.

Most important: knowledge of the temperment and inclination of all the players and the judge is paramount, and only a local attorney intimately familiar with them can provide this.

The last thing anyone wants is to get "home towned."

My family used Gilford attorney Steve Nix to good effect with a lakefront issue.

He focuses on real estate and related issues.

Here's a link I found to a case he successfully argued at Squam Lake:
