About Philip
Biography
A persuasive and successful litigator, Phil has handled a variety of legal actions including complex commercial disputes, breach of fiduciary duty claims, partnership and shareholder disputes, adverse possession claims, prescriptive easement claims, quiet title actions, landlord/tenant cases and collection actions. He frequently appears in the Connecticut Probate Court system representing beneficiaries, fiduciaries and creditors in matters of contested conservatorships, trust and estate administration, will contests, contested accounting proceedings and fiduciary removal proceedings.
In addition to litigation, Phil practices in the municipal and land use arena appearing before planning and zoning commissions, inland wetlands commissions, zoning boards of appeals, and other administrative agencies, advocating for applicants, developers, property owners and neighborhood groups. He also regularly counsels municipalities and individuals in commercial and residential property tax appeals. As a former member of his hometown governing board, Phil’s firsthand knowledge of the inner workings of town administration offers valuable insight to his clients.
Phil prides himself on providing responsive, efficient service and practical advice.
