Land Use & Zoning

Massachusetts Land Use and Zoning Attorneys

Our lawyers have found during their many years of practice that land use and zoning issues are a principal source of community anger. At Taylor, Ganson & Perrin, LLP, we provide clients with advice and representation that allows them to accomplish their property goals while diffusing community hostility toward the projects involved. We work with interested parties to avoid litigation whenever possible, believing that its cost is seldom justified.

Our lawyers have many years of experience helping clients with the often-contentious issues around zoning and land use.

However, because of the sensitivity of many land use issues, avoiding litigation is not always possible. Our lawyers have the experience and knowledge to handle the most contentious land use and zoning issues, trying to minimize both the financial and emotional consequences of property disputes.
