Democrat New Hampshire U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s husband Bill Shaheen is a lawyer and Democratic National Committeeman from New Hampshire who is viewed as the real boss of the Shaheen political machine. Bill Shaheen is co-founder and partner at the Shaheen & Gordon law firm. Bill Shaheen’s law firm’s “Results” page is staggering cynical, even for a law firm. The firm brags about its success in defending accused domestic abusers sexual assaulters.

In one case, Shaheen’s firm celebrated keeping a confessed child predator out of jail.

“Client charged with using the internet to lure/solicit a minor to engage in sexual acts. Client also charged with Attempted Felonious Sexual Assault arising out of the same incident. State has strong case, including a confession. Through extensive negotiations and litigation, both charges are dropped and a negotiated agreement is reached on alternative lesser charges. After a contested sentencing hearing the court adopted the defense’s sentence recommendation, which resulted in the defendant not serving any jail time,” the firm states.

Here are some of Shaheen’s firm’s other victories from its “Results” page.

False Accusations of Child Molestation Against Parent	Client was accused of sexually molesting his children. Two petitions for abuse were filed by the Division of Children, Youth and Families. After the Court held an adjudicatory hearing on the matter, both petitions were dismissed and the client was reunited with his children.
Internet Luring/Solicitation	Client charged with using the internet to lure/solicit a minor to engage in sexual acts. Client also charged with Attempted Felonious Sexual Assault arising out of the same incident. State has strong case, including a confession. Through extensive negotiations and litigation, both charges are dropped and a negotiated agreement is reached on alternative lesser charges. After a contested sentencing hearing the court adopted the defense’s sentence recommendation, which resulted in the defendant not serving any jail time.
Domestic Violence / Simple Assault Victory – Dover District Court	Won Not Guilty on all charges following trial in which alleged victim claimed that live in boy friend twice physically assaulted her, but delayed in making any report to law enforcement and made inconsistent statements regarding the event.
Felonious Sexual Assault Victory – Merrimack County Superior Court	Secured Not Guilty verdicts after jury trial on behalf of a client charged with Felonious Sexual Assault and Simple Assault.
No Jail Time for Client Charged With Motor Vehicle Homicide	Client charged in Massachusetts with Motor Vehicle Homicide within days of new enacted “Melanie’s Law” requiring mandatory prison sentences for certain drinking related motor vehicle offenses. Despite the new law, Bill successfully negotiated a plea agreement where the defendant received a suspended sentence and did not go to jail.
Dram Shop Wrongful Death Case	Successfully achieved a resolution consistent with the interests of one of the world’s largest fraternal organizations and its insurer after years of litigation in a dram shop wrongful death case brought by husband and wife decedents killed by a drunk driver.
Felony Second Degree Assault – Coos County	Secured no time agreement whereby State dropped Felony offense in favor of Simple Assault Misdemeanor despite allegations of serious bodily injury.
Simple Assault & Criminal Threatening	Client charged with simple assault and criminal threatening for allegedly pushing and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend while they were exchanging custody of their minor child. Client denies the allegations and goes to trial. At trial the defense contests the charges and argues that the allegations were fabricated by the ex-girlfriend in order to create a false basis to try and modify custody of the minor child. The defense presented eye-witness testimony and court documents as evidence. After trial the judge found client NOT GUILTY on the assault charge and placed the criminal threatening charge on file WITHOUT A FINDING, resulting in no convictions for the client.
All Felony Charges	Client charged with Aggravated Felonious Sexual Assault, Felonious Sexual Assault, Attempted Felonious Sexual Assault and Sexual Assault in the Grafton County Superior Court. After a four-day trial, the jury returned not guilty verdicts on all felony charges.   Through aggressive pre-trial motion practice, Bill limited the State’s evidence at trial by excluding expert testimony and evidence of other alleged acts by the defendant. Through cross-examination of the State’s witnesses, Bill established several significant inconsistencies in the complaining witness’ story. The jury returned not guilty verdicts on all felony charges.
