Craig Donais, Attorney

Attorney Craig Donais represents businesses, institutions, municipalities and individuals. His experience over thirteen years as a law clerk to Justices Sherman D. Horton and William R. Johnson at the New Hampshire Supreme Court, as an Assistant Attorney General in the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, and private practice have exposed him to a broad range of legal issues in transactional and litigation settings. He obtained the largest civil jury verdict in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire in 2007, in a fraud, breach of contract, and consumer protection action. Attorney Donais represents clients in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
