About

I am a New Hampshire native who joined the United States Army on my 18th birthday.  I served honorably for 8 years in Military Intelligence, receiving many awards and promotions while completing my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice.  Thereafter I returned to New Hampshire where I joined the National Guard for 4 years, working in JAG and Counter Drug while completing my Bachelor's Degree in Political Science.  Thereafter, I went on to obtain my Juris Doctor in 2002.  I began my legal career as a prosecutor for over 8 years and as such, have over 17 years of litigation experience.  In private practice I have served as defense counsel in criminal cases and DWIs and as counsel for those seeking habeas corpus relief, as well as those served with domestic violence, restraining, or stalking petitions.  I also practice Family, Second Amendment, and Labor Law and draft Estate plans and NFA Firearms Trusts.  I am currently a member of the New Hampshire Bar Association, Disabled American Veterans, NRA, Gun Owners of New Hampshire, and in 2011 I received a Governor's Citation for my military service and public service to New Hampshire as a prosecutor and Assistant County Attorney.

About a year ago I hired Nicole Fortune for a custody/visitation battle. After already being awarded full physical and legal custody of my daughter (2 years prior), the other party, out of blue, filed for immediate joint physical custody due to certain false allegations. A lawyer was necessary to put the allegations to bed and to push for the thousands of dollars of back child support that was owed to me. Nicole was very honest as what I needed to supply as far as discovery to go forward and as far as the outcome. She helped me become even more organized than I was in a short amount of time. I was thoroughly prepared for our court date no matter what the outcome would be. After no discovery was supplied by the other party and a continuance of our court date the case was eventually dismissed. While I can only speak regarding family law cases, I would highly recommend Nicole Fortune and would use her again if necessary.

Had it not been for the concise and effectiveness that she offers I would be looking at a very different future. She left no stone unturned and I am truly grateful.

Our company needed a release, waiver, etc. crafted up with very little time before we would need to put it into operation. Ms. Fortune did a great job - and quickly too.

We used Nicole to review and advise us. Nicole read the contract in a timely mammer. She protected our best interests, by removing harmful demands and terms, she also added protective measures for our protection. She explained the contract to us in away that we can understand it making the process very comfortable. We shall recommend her to our family members and friends without any doubts. Tedd & Terry

Nicole represented me on both a Labor case as an employee and in a civil matter as a business owner. She does her home work and helped me make the right tactical choices throughout the proceedings. Her professionalism and communication allowed me to navigate a very negative situation.

Contact at a privite gathering on two occasions. Very impressed with Ms. Fortune's knowledge of law, issue's related to my on going divorce and custody problems. Importantly her years of experience related to the court system in New Hampshire, the players and it's history. Most importantly the confidence she has with regard to positive outcomes from proper lidigation. Detail oriented progresstion of the many topic's of my case, custody, child support, mediation, emergency filings, to best serve my child needs and my best interests. Impressive, someone who works closely with you, not from a distance, to meet your needs and allows a full and timely understanding of all proceedings. The confidence I gained from having attorney Fortune's exellent court room presence. certainly lacking in other attorney's I have had contact with. I highly reccomend attorney Fortune for your legal needs. P. A. Gagnon.

Attorney Fortune went over and above in her research to attempt to get my son a new trial for incompetent attorneys. Although the Habe was unsuccessful it was not through any fault of this attorney.
