About

Cohen & Winters, PLLC is a full-service law firm based in Concord, New Hampshire, serving clients throughout the state with a 4.7 Google rating from over 200 clients. Founded in 2009 by Jonathan Cohen and Andrew Winters, the firm draws its strength from the shared commitment to justice that both partners developed during their early careers as public defenders, where they each defended hundreds of criminal cases for clients who could not afford private counsel.

After gaining foundational trial experience at the Public Defender's Office, Cohen and Winters each spent time at other firms developing civil litigation skills before joining forces to create a practice rooted in community advocacy. That public-service background continues to shape the firm's culture and client approach: the team focuses on understanding each client's unique situation and working to exceed expectations, whether in the courtroom or during settlement negotiations.

The firm maintains six core practice areas. In personal injury, Cohen & Winters represents victims of car accidents and negligence claims, fighting to secure fair compensation from insurers and at trial. The criminal defense team, led by Attorney Elroy Sequeira, handles charges ranging from DUI and reckless driving to serious felonies, with Sequeira recognized as an experienced trial lawyer who has litigated numerous high-stakes criminal cases. The family law practice—anchored by Melaney Hodge, Mary Gaiser, and Brian Rose, all seasoned litigators with careers focused on family matters—guides clients through custody disputes, divorce proceedings, and domestic violence situations, earning a track record of favorable outcomes in both mediated settlements and contested litigation. The firm also assists clients in creating estate plans, addressing issues such as executor selection, trustee designation, and powers of attorney to ensure affairs are properly ordered. Additionally, Cohen & Winters represents clients in DUI and driving-related offenses and provides estate planning counsel.

Operating from 64 North State Street in Concord, the firm has recruited experienced attorneys and paralegals who share its commitment to client service. The firm works on a contingency basis in many personal injury matters—clients pay only if the firm wins. A free consultation is available to prospective clients seeking to understand their legal options and next steps.
