Skilled Portsmouth Real Estate Attorney
We are well versed in municipal regulations related to residential and commercial real estate development in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. We have represented clients before town and city planning boards and zoning boards in matters ranging from set back requirements, to petitions to quiet title, to tax abatements. We regularly provide legal advice and representation on a wide variety of real estate, land use, and zoning matters including:
- Seller agent duties
- Buyer agent duties
- Disclosure of dual agency
- Prohibited conduct by real estate brokers
- Mechanics or contractor liens
- Permitting

While we strive to resolve real estate disputes through compromise and negotiation, we recognize that litigation is often required to reverse capricious or arbitrary decisions made by planning and zoning boards. We have challenged decisions made by planning and zoning boards in the New Hampshire Superior Court, the New Hampshire Supreme Court, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire, and the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
