He has also appeared before the New Hampshire Supreme Court on more than fifty occasions. Most recently, Gordon and Elizabeth Leonard of this firm, together with a team of other law firms, secured a $45.5 million jury verdict for eleven heavy truck dealers in a breach of contract lawsuit against Ford Motor Company.
