Diligent, Proactive Representation

We get involved after clients have been unsuccessful in the initial request for a permit or variance. Mr. Angley thoroughly reviews the plans and the zoning restrictions invoked in the denial. He recommends any changes that will help the project pass muster, and acts to get an appeal hearing at the earliest date. Whenever feasible, he moves to have the case heard in Land Court. He also litigates in Superior Court and the Massachusetts Court of Appeals.
