What is Casework

The following information, including links and contact information, are resources to help you determine if your issue/concern is casework. If you cannot find the information you are looking for, or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact one of my state offices and a member of my staff will be happy to assist you.

After 18 years of serving New Hampshire in the Senate, Senator Shaheen’s office will close at the end of the year. Helping Granite Staters navigate the federal government has been a hallmark of the Senator’s time in the Senate. We are focused on resolving as many pending cases as possible before the office closes. To ensure constituents receive the continuity of service they deserve, we are unable to accept any new casework. We encourage you to reach out to another member of the NH Congressional Delegation so that they may open a case on your behalf.

It has been an honor to serve the people of New Hampshire.

If your concerns are legal in nature, you may need to contact an attorney or the appropriate judicial agency. As a United States Senator, jurisdiction over such matters is limited by law. My office will attempt to provide you with the suitable contacts that can assist you with your case. Examples of judicial or legal matters include child custody, divorce, and criminal trials or imprisonment.

You may wish to contact the New Hampshire Bar Association for legal advice, services and referrals available to New Hampshire residents at www.nhbar.org/ or 603 Legal Aid at (603) 224-3333 or www.603legalaid.org.

If your concern involves the New Hampshire prison system, you should contact the New Hampshire Department of Corrections at (603) 271-5600 or www.nh.gov/nhdoc/.

If your concerns involve the New Hampshire State Government or State legislation you should contact Governor Sununu's office at (603) 271-2121 or at www.governor.nh.gov/. The Governor has a dedicated constituent service staff devoted to assisting constituents with issues involving state agencies. Examples of such issues include child support, motor vehicle registration, loss of license, and state taxes.

It is the long standing tradition of the Senate to afford the Senator from your home state the opportunity to assist you. If you are not a resident of the State of New Hampshire, as a courtesy, my office will forward your information and case materials to one or both of the Senators in the state in which you reside.
