During the past 30 years, Vogelman has handled civil and criminal cases in over half the states in this country, in both federal and state courts. He has tried more than 200 cases to verdict and argued dozens of appeals. Vogelman came to New Hampshire in 1994 as deputy director of the New Hampshire Public Defender and was admitted to the New Hampshire Bar that year.
