Held on September 16, at the Holiday Inn in downtown Concord, the event featured exceptional presenters speaking on a wide range of topics. The Keynote speaker, Senior Associate Justice Judge James E. Duggan, standing in for Chief Justice Linda Dalianis, presented a serious account of the challenges facing the New Hampshire court system. Attorney Daniel J. Norris, a Partner with McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton, Professional Association, presented an in-depth discussion on choice of entity filing in New Hampshire. Attorney Bradford E. Cook, of Sheehan, Phinney, Bass + Green PA, added some humor and personal stories to his presentation on probate litigation. Attorneys Jennifer Jones and Janelle Laylagian, of the State of New Hampshire, presented a very educational session on Special Needs Trusts and the Medicaid system. Ann Routos, IT Trainer at McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton, Professional Association, offered everyone some very helpful tips with her fun and informative presentation on software annoyances. The afternoon ended with a very heartfelt and inspirational account from Attorney Linda S. Johnson, a Partner with McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton, Professional Association, of her remarkable, and at times difficult, journey from paralegal to partner. The Paralegal Association’s Paralegal of the Year Award was presented to Nancy Dorr, a litigation paralegal with McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton, Professional Association, and the Scholarship Award was presented to Erin Murphy, a paralegal student at New Hampshire Technical Institute. The New Hampshire Bar Association presented its Paralegal Professionalism Award to Suzanne Blake, a paralegal with the City of Concord Solicitors Office. The event was catered by Nonni’s Restaurant and featured a continental breakfast buffet and a delicious plated lunch of either fish or beef. The Silent Auction offered a variety of fabulous items, and the energetic bidding for some of the items made for an exciting afternoon. The event was well attended and received very positive comments. We could not have had such a successful event without the support of this year’s sponsors McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton, Professional Association, Citizens Bank, First American Title Insurance Company, and Mark Z Legal Staffing. The beautiful flower arrangements by Dixieland Florist added a splash of fall color to the tables.
