About
I am an experienced trial lawyer practicing in Northern New Hampshire, primarily serving Coos, Carrol and Grafton County. I have successfully argued more jury trials than any other defense lawyer in Coos County. I have been representing people in criminal cases for over twenty years. I am recognized by my peers as possessing exceptional knowledge in the field of DWI. I have served on an editorial board for James Publishing, Inc. and written a chapter on breath testing in a book to be published by Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education, Inc. (MCLE) focusing on New Hampshire DWI defense. I have been a presenter and chair person of New Hampshire defense lawyer trainings sponsored by the New Hampshire Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers Association on Advanced DWI Defense. I am certified according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to administer the standardized field sobriety tests (horizontal gaze nystagmus, walk and turn, and one leg stand.) I am also certified to operate, maintain and repair the Intoxilyzer 5000. I have been certified to operate the Intoxilyzer 8000, the SD-5 and Intoximeter FST and taken advanced forensic blood classes. I am a member of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. I am better trained than the police officer who arrested you. I have the experience to focus on the proper methods to attack the state's case against you and win. I am available 24 hours a day for emergency consultations. Harden Law Offices was established in June of 2003. I opened a second office in the summer of 2005 in Littleton to better serve the North Country. In the fall of 2011, I also acquired a Lebanon office. I am willing to meet with clients before or after normal business hours. I take pride in returning calls personally and in handling all of my cases from start to finish. I have been focusing on criminal defense with a larger firm from southern New Hampshire and managing their office in Lancaster for over 7 years. Prior to my work with the southern firm, I worked in a North Country general practice firm focusing on criminal defense. It was during my time at the general practice firm that I began taking court appointed cases from local courts in northern New Hampshire. I have been defending cases in northern New Hampshire for over 20years.

I had a very complicated case involving a breath test. Attorney Harden explained how the breath test is only an estimate of blood alcohol. He was able to show errors the state had made and win the case. I highly recommend Harden to anybody who gets in trouble up in Northern NH
He kept me infomed by sending me email's and mailing me anything that had to do with my case, answered any questions I had with a quick response, and keeping me hopfull at the same time. When I first meet him to understand what was going on he told me everything I needed to know including what I was being charged with would be a tough case to win. He won my case, and after that he still sent me a paper to get the indictment, the time in court, well everything off my record. I'm glad I hired him and would recommend him to anyone
If any one needs a great lawyer please call him!!!! This man delivered everything he said he will do for us and when the time came for my husband to go to court he did it so if you are having any problems with DUIs and it is not your fault please call this man because he is a great and kind lawyer and he will find the mistakes that the police did thank you Mr. Harden Thank you Sincerely The Day Family
Len is a great attorney. He represented me after I was arrested for DWI. I was scared, and called around to a few different attorneys, and although he was more expensive then the others, you get what you pay for. He listened and stated that he thought he could help me. I was pulled over, charged with DWI and open container. He worked out a deal with the DA and got my DWI dropped to a reckless driving and my open container was dropped completely. Unfortunately right before my court date, I had been pulled over for driving under suspension, and when court came, he worked out a deal to get that charge dropped also to just operating without a license, which was just a fine, no additional time suspended. Definitely worth it, and he's got the experience and the prestige. Thanks a lot!
Mr. Harden was able to help me with my DUI releated to medical marijuana. I had a small crash in the snow slid 30 feet and was dazed. I had consumed my medicine earlier in the day but was unaffected. I blew a 0.00 and the cop wanted to take my blood as the only option. I refused based on my knowledge of marijuana in the system and the cops lack of knowledge. Mr. Harden was able to explain the laws and get me a favorable outcome. He was very professional and took the stress out of the situation.
I cannot recommend Len enough! He was quick to respond, he is attentive, kind, and courteous. It is obvious that he knows what he is doing and he was a pleasure to work with. He also kept me informed along the way. Would recommend 100%
I was extremely skeptical on hiring a lawyer for my case, I wasn't sure anyone could help me where my DWI happened in the middle of no where and the officer was out to make a name for himself. Leonard was not pushy, did not try to coax me either way, did not make me feel pressured or anything of that nature. I was immediately comfortable on the first phone call I made seeking advice. He gave me the facts, every kind of scenario this case could go in and emailed me with every update and exactly what I should do. I had a hard case, and Leonard won and stood up for me! And to too it off it is right before Christmas! Worth every penny!
He got my DUI dropped, my driving over single and double yellow line dropped to a charge of reckless driving. Responds quickly to messages and phone calls. Calming demeanor, friendly, easy to talk to, helpful in all ways.
I recommend Len, He was very professional, and he got back to me in a timely fashion. He was able to explain a lot about the process. And knew a lot of people within the system. Consider Len if your having any DWI issues. He is one f the best.
I was recommended to attorney Harden by my father lawyer say he is one of the best, well he couldn't have been more right. I was in a pretty tight spot with my DWI case and attorney Harden had no problem helping me out. He was incredibly understanding, patient, kind, and easy to talk to with just about any part of my case. i very highly recommend attorney Harden for amy DWI case.
