Sandra Kuhn

Sandra A. Kuhn serves as FAMILYLEGAL's Vice President and Director of the Bankruptcy Practice Group. While attending law school, Attorney Kuhn worked under the auspices of the United States Bankruptcy Court on the landmark bankruptcy case of In Re: Public Service Company of New Hampshire. While working at the Bankruptcy Court, Attorney Kuhn learned to appreciate the struggles faced by the working people in New Hampshire in a time of financial crisis as well as the challenges faced by the Court in administering justice.

Subsequent to her graduation from Law School, Attorney Kuhn concentrated her practice primarily in the areas of bankruptcy and family law seeking to assist hard working individuals who, despite their best efforts, found themselves in a most unfortunate set of circumstances for which they needed effective, aggressive legal representation.

Attorney Kuhn's commitment to hard work and dedication was fostered by her parents who were supportive of her career decisions and inspired her to realize her goals. Her father, a Navy veteran, always instilled upon her the need to work hard so as to become a leader in her chosen field. Her mother instilled upon her the need to advocate tirelessly for the needs of others who were unable to stand up for themselves. "I remember my father working sometimes two jobs to be able to make ends meat. Yet he and my mother always found time to spend with me to discuss current events, politics and the need to be self sufficient. They instilled upon me that to whom much is given financially emotionally and/or spiritually much is expected in the form of helping others".

You work hard to support yourself and your family. You have tried to do everything right. You tried to pay your bills, but sometimes you can't. Sometimes it is just so overwhelming and a wave of helplessness rushes over you. If you can no longer keep your head above water due to a job loss, medical bills or high interest rate loans or credit cards, Bankruptcy may be a way to provide you with relief and a fresh start.

Attorney Kuhn is a highly experienced Attorney who will provide you with options and give you the best advice possible. She will not judge you. She will not make you feel bad. She understands that this is not your first choice but that it may be your only option. Attorney Kuhn is someone that you can trust.

Attorney Kuhn earned her B.A. from the University of New Hampshire and her J.D. from Franklin Pierce Law School in Concord, New Hampshire. Under her direction, FAMILYLEGAL has become the largest consumer Bankruptcy Law Firm in the New England area. She is admitted to the State and Federal Bar in New Hampshire and is admitted to practice before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of New Hampshire.

It also greatly aids in the successful resolution of the case.
