Dwyer Donovan & Pendleton, PA
Family Law, Mediation, and Divorce Representation in the New Hampshire Seacoast
We understand that problems addressed in family law are unlike those in any other legal field. Family law cases involve what matters most: you, your children, and your future. Our firm handles only family law cases so that we can provide the specialized and dedicated representation that our clients require. We then tailor our services so as to meet the unique needs of each client. This often begins with educating our clients about the numerous choices available, and then helping them determine which is best for themselves and their family.
For some, mediation or a collaborative approach provides the optimal path forward; for others, litigation is the clear choice. Once our clients choose a process, we guide and support them step-by-step throughout their case. Through experience, compassion, and respect we strive to help each client find the best way to resolve their conflict. Please browse our site to learn more about the different process options, our areas of practice, our experience, and resources available to help you.

Attorney Meegan Reis
Attorney Elizabeth Donovan
I have been practicing law in Portsmouth, New Hampshire since 1995, after serving as a Law Clerk for the Superior Court of Connecticut and after working as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Small Business Administration. I have appeared in thousands of cases in Family and District Courts throughout the State and have narrowed my practice to all matters of family law and defense of misdemeanor and violation complaints for the last 18 years.
Though I am primarily a trial attorney, I dedicate myself to using creative thinking and strategizing to avoid litigation where possible. I encourage settlement through mediation or the Collaborative Law process, for which I have been trained since 2010.
We have created a unique law practice that does not mirror a “traditional” law firm. We work with our clients individually at all stages of the process to define goals and achieve resolution best suited to you and your future.
