We are familiar with zoning and land use, even in places where it is unique, like Boston. Not only do Allcock & Marcus lawyers practice zoning law, some of our attorneys have served on local zoning and planning boards.

Zoning and land use issues often comes up in the context of condominium developer disputes and in neighbor disputes. Zoning issues have become more prevalent in recent years due to the building boom that has occurred across New England. When it comes to zoning, knowledge of the law and local zoning codes is power. When it comes to development, time is money. Our lawyers will represent your condominium at the local level and in Court challenging special permits, variances and project modifications. Allcock & Marcus has been successful in negotiating six and seven-figure settlements and project adjustment settlements on behalf of condominiums with developers of neighboring projects.
