A member of the prosecutors clinical program, upon graduating from Suffolk University Law School, Shane was appointed as an Assistant District Attorney in Middlesex County, Massachusetts’ largest County. Shane represented the Commonwealth in the courtroom on a daily basis, arguing bail hearings, evidentiary motions, and litigating complex criminal litigation matters through to bench and jury trials regularly. A New Hampshire native, Shane returned to Concord, New Hampshire to work in the Criminal Bureau of the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. There, Shane began by working in tandem with the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security to prosecute cases of unemployment Fraud in the New Hampshire Superior Courts.
