Helping Clients in Southeastern Massachusetts Resolve Municipal Law Issues
Landowners and developers who deal with local units of government face many complicated legal issues. So do the employees who work for those units of government. From zoning issues to the right of employees and other matters, it takes considerable experience and legal skill to resolve things in the most efficient and practical way.
At Volterra, Goldberg & Jacobs, we have a strong municipal law practice led by attorney Max Volterra. Contact us to schedule a confidential consultation. From our office in Attleboro, we serve clients throughout Southeastern Massachusetts.
Land Use and Zoning / Development Issues
When Thoreau went out to live at Walden Pond 150 years ago, he didn't need a permit. Today, he might find himself in a maze of municipal regulations. Cities, towns, counties and other local units of government play a large role in restricting access to development. For new construction, redevelopment and other types of projects, it's important for homeowners and developers to obtain the proper permits and zoning approvals. Those opposed to re-zoning or development projects need strong representation in order for their voice to be heard.
Led by Max Volterra, a former city council member and legislator, our firm is very experienced with guiding clients through this complicated process. Whether it's a dispute about eminent domain, the applicability of tax abatement, or some other issue, we will protect your interests and help you pursue your goals.
Employee Rights
Police officers, firefighters and other employees who work for local units of government are often part of civil service systems that require issues to be addressed in a very particular way. When may a town or city properly reprimand, suspend or terminate an employee? Is there a right to hearing before an employee is subject to discipline?
If you are an employee facing questions like this, our firm, led by Mr. Volterra, can help you get the issues resolved. Contact us to schedule a consultation with an experienced lawyer.
