Jared O'Connor
Shaheen & Gordon, P.A.
Jared has spent his legal career advocating on behalf of injured workers in all fields, from firefighters and police officers to pipefitters and electricians; construction workers and white-collar professionals to healthcare workers and teachers; and delivery drivers of all stripes, from FedEx and UPS to Amazon or Domino’s. After earning his law degree, he entered private practice and quickly built a reputation for vigorous and compassionate advocacy on behalf of his workers’ compensation clients, protecting their rights, winning benefits, and, when necessary, taking their cases to the New Hampshire Supreme Court to establish important victories that have changed the law for New Hampshire citizens. Jared has presented over 75 cases to the Supreme Court, including ones that have made it easier for injured workers to recover for their repetitive stress injuries and broadened job reinstatement rights. He also won the first state Supreme Court case in the nation to hold workers’ compensation insurance carriers responsible for reimbursing claimants for the cost of medical marijuana.
Jared is Governor at Large for the New Hampshire Association for Justice, for whom he is chair of the Workers' Compensation Section and is a member of the national Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group. He was appointed as the lone attorney to the NH Governor's Commission to Study the Incidence of PTSD in First Responders and is the claimant counsel representative at the NH Workers' Compensation Appeals Advisory Board.
Jared’s incisive legal analysis, good humor, and tenacious-but-practical attitude toward cases has earned him the loyalty of his clients, as well as professional accolades. He has been repeatedly recognized as a Super Lawyer in the field of workers’ compensation and is the recipient of the Granite State Advocate Award from the New Hampshire Association for Justice.
