Dependable advice. Unflinching advocacy.
At Reis & O'Keefe, PLLC, we are dedicated criminal defense attorneys with over 30 years of combined experience defending clients in New Hampshire. Our team, consisting of Attorneys Kevin O'Keefe, James Reis, and Investigator/Paralegal Lisa Greenwaldt, understands the importance of providing personalized attention to each client, ensuring that their rights are protected and their goals are met.
Our Expertise
Our practice focuses on criminal defense, DWI, jury selection, and appeals. We handle state and federal cases with a client-focused strategy, balancing complex legal analysis with realistic and effective courtroom strategy. Whether your case calls for an aggressive defense, tactful negotiation, or both, we will create the best strategy for you - while keeping you informed about your case every step of the way.
Our Approach
Our dedication begins by getting to know clients as people, not defendants, and understanding how your case impacts your life. We will read one more case, talk to one more witness, and write one more motion. We leave no stone unturned. We provide honest, compassionate advice with personal attention to develop a strategic plan for your case. We rely on our arsenal of skills: in-depth legal research, persuasive writing, effective negotiation, investigation, and trial advocacy.
Our Reach
Based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, we commonly work with clients in Rockingham, Strafford, Hillsborough, Merrimack, Carroll, and Belknap Counties, although we represent clients throughout the State of New Hampshire at every level. We will help with violations and misdemeanors in the District Division, felonies in Superior Court, and appeals to the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
