The law office of Andrew Cotrupi has been in Hampton, NH for over 20 years.

Picture
I started representing accused citizens as  Public Defender in the Stratham, New Hampshire Office in 1991.  For the following 6 years I represented, primarily, citizens arrested in the Seacoast area on serious felony offenses such as Homicide, Sexual Assault, Drug charges and felony DWI as well as more serious juvenile offenses.

In 1997 I opened my criminal defense practice in Hampton, New Hampshire.  Thus, I have spent my entire legal career representing citizens accused of crimes in the Hampton, Seabrook and Seacoast of New Hampshire.  I have appeared in the Hampton district court hundreds of times, obtaining acquittals on numerous drug, alcohol, assault and other charges.  I have a level of experience in criminal defense in the Seacoast area, and in Hampton and Seabrook in particular, that is unique. 

When a local police chief was arrested for DWI, it was this office that obtained the dismissal of his charges at both the DMV and the Court.  When another  member of law enforcement was arrested for Reckless Conduct, it was this office was called and earned his acquittal.  When the local media wants information on criminal defense issues, it is this office that is contacted.    It really is what I do and where I do it.

Call my office for a consultation today.
