ABOUT
I concentrate my practice on property tax litigation and assessment law. I have years of experience successfully negotiating and litigating tax appeals on a wide range of commercial, industrial, residential and exempt real estate, as well as personal property. My success is the result of an in-depth understanding of appraisal and assessment theory and law. I also have significant experience as a litigator of business disputes and criminal proceedings.
I regularly represent some of the largest property owners in New England. My clients have included commercial, industrial and residential property owners, tenants, developers, management companies, tax exempt organizations, individuals and municipalities. My expertise extends to all issues related to property taxation. I am committed to providing my clients with the highest level of legal expertise and a superior level of responsiveness and representation.
