Kristen Guilmette '04
Staff attorney, New Hampshire Public Defender (NHPD), Stratham, NH
Kristen Guilmette is responsible for representing clients charged with juvenile delinquency offenses to Class A felonies. She credits Professor Charles Temple for her interest in pursuing a career in indigent criminal defense. Under his supervision in the Criminal Practice clinic, she was given the opportunity to handle every aspect of a misdemeanor and felony case.
Guilmette is also one of many graduates to benefit from the school’s Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) that assists recent graduates who work in public interest law repay their school loans.
“LRAP made my decision to be a public defender an easy one.”
