Patricia M. Panciocco

We tried to unmerge our house lots in 2019. The selectmen said it was merged by the previous owners but we had proof it wasn't. We hired attorney Panciocco to help us. I wanted to overturn the 2019 bos decision but Pat said instead of pursuing that we had merged one lot by conduct so she said ...we would do a new application to just unmerge 2 lots. We had the selectmen meeting and they said since we didn't appeal the first hearing they would stand by the fact we didn't appeal it. Pat said our only option was Superior court . We lost. She then said Supreme Court would have to find in our favor because it was totally different from the first application. We went to Supreme Court and their decision was that the non decision by the selectmen was actually a decision and should have been appealed to the zoning board. Now it's to late so we lost two house lots and paid her over $20 thousand dollars. Pat still takes no responsibility for her decision. In total her negligence cost us over a quarter million dollars and years worth of emotional suffering.

Pat Panciocco is a terrific attorney who advocates strongly for her clients. She was instrumental in the successful subdivision of property in a town that was openly hostile to our perfectly legal efforts. Without her counsel and dogged efforts to secure our legal rights we would not have been succes...sful.

My husband and I hired Pat Panciocco to settle a land disagreement between us and a builder. She is great just sitting in her office and sending out letters to the town and etc. But she is horrible fighting for the homeowner's rights. After we lost $40K we ended our relationship with her. Perhaps she... is good fighting for a developer since she was one but not for the average homeowner. To us this was a great deal of money and we only fought because we were assured over and over we were right. So, please average homeowner stay away from this lawyer. Don't make the same mistake as we did.
