When Sowerby & Moustakis Law Is the Right Fit for Equine Law Matters

Horses are more than property. They are companions, investments, and often part of a livelihood. At Sowerby & Moustakis Law, we understand the unique legal needs of horse owners, riders, and trainers in New Hampshire. Our equine law services protect both your animals and your rights.

Here are the top five reasons clients across Southern New Hampshire choose us for equine law:
