Attorney Thomas J. Leonard has been named to the Hillsborough County South Drug Court steering committee.

The Nashua court, which recently celebrated its first year of operation, is one of several “alternative sentencing programs” in New Hampshire which aim to tackle drug-related crimes with substance abuse treatment and monitoring rather than prison sentences. The Nashua Drug Court, a project of Superior Court Judge Jacalyn Colburn, was recently awarded a substantial federal grant.

Attorney Leonard focuses his practice on business, real estate, and land use law. He was raised in Nashua and has served as the city’s interim mayor.
