SOLACE Reminder
SOLACE is a mutual assistance network of members of the New Hampshire Bar.

This network enables members to reach out to their colleagues in a time of need - such as a sudden serious illness or accident, a damaging house or office fire, or a natural disaster. SOLACE can help by alerting all NH Bar members and giving them the opportunity to provide support in a time of crisis. Responders will either respond directly to the person in need or to an intermediary. Find out more about SOLACE.
SOLACE will not solicit cash or financial support. If you have questions about the program, please send them to ddestefano@nhbar.org.
