Attorney Andre D Bouffard of the northern New England law firm Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC argued an appeal before the United States Supreme Court on Wednesday. The court will decide whether federal law deregulating the trucking industry preempts claims based on state law relating to wrongful disposition of a towed vehicle. The case was initially handled by attorney Kate Strickland of DRM’ s Lebanon, NH, office.
