LEGAL Q&A: Legal Services Department: 2023 Year-in-Review

NHMA staff includes two attorneys who are available to answer legal inquiries and provide general legal assistance by email and telephone to elected and appointed officials from member municipalities. Although these attorneys prepare articles, handbooks, seminars, and other educational programs and publications, they spend a lot of time answering your specific legal inquires, either by phone or by email.  NHMA strives to have a lawyer on telephone duty at 1-603-224-7447 each business day between 8:30 and 4:30.
