With nearly 50 years of consistent excellence and a deep commitment to client service, this full-service firm brings sophisticated legal representation to families navigating some of life's most challenging transitions. The firm's strong family law practice, combined with complementary expertise in criminal defense, estate planning, and other practice areas, enables comprehensive representation that addresses the multifaceted challenges families often face.

Established in 1975, Brennan Lenehan Iacopino & Hickey has built its reputation through generations of skilled attorneys dedicated to protecting clients' interests and providing dignified, competent representation. The firm's longevity in Manchester reflects not merely survival but genuine success—a testament to the firm's commitment to legal excellence, ethical practice, and client satisfaction. Over 40 years of continuous practice means the firm has developed deep knowledge of New Hampshire's legal system, extensive relationships within the judicial community, and accumulated wisdom regarding what works in different types of cases.

The firm's family law practice encompasses the full spectrum of matters affecting New Hampshire families. Divorce cases—whether amicable or contested—receive expert representation from attorneys who understand both the legal complexities of property division, spousal support, and alimony, and the emotional realities couples face during relationship dissolution. Custody matters, including initial custody determinations and modifications, receive careful attention from attorneys who recognize that custody decisions directly impact children's wellbeing and future development. Child support matters involve not merely arithmetic calculations but strategic advocacy regarding income determinations, support obligations, and modification circumstances. The firm handles alimony and spousal support disputes, domestic violence matters, and complex family law litigation.

What distinguishes Brennan Lenehan Iacopino & Hickey is the integration of trial expertise with family law knowledge. The firm does not merely negotiate settlements—though attorneys are skilled negotiators—but is fully prepared to take contested cases to trial when clients' interests require courtroom advocacy. This trial readiness means clients benefit from attorneys who understand litigation strategy, can effectively present cases before judges, and can advocate persuasively when negotiated resolution is not possible. The firm's recognition by The Best Lawyers in America, with three attorneys selected for the 2025 edition, reflects this commitment to providing advocacy of the highest caliber.

The firm's complementary practice areas enable comprehensive family law representation. When divorce involves custody disputes combined with criminal allegations, the firm's criminal defense expertise becomes invaluable. When family law matters intersect with estate planning concerns—such as regarding wills, trusts, guardianship designations, and inheritance planning—the firm's estate planning expertise ensures clients receive comprehensive guidance. When family law and personal injury issues arise together, the firm can address both. This integrated service model means clients work with one firm that understands the full complexity of their situation rather than coordinating among multiple attorneys.
