Rural township wind ordinance

Very very thankful for his prompt services. I have felt all along this was a David vs. Goliath nightmare in our rural twp. Mr Curcio was thorough and knows the law well. He represented the many residents of Fremont Twp. well, when we didn’t know where to turn to next. His knowledge and kindness w...as so appreciated and we owe him a great deal of gratitude. We won this battle and hopefully we will win the “war”. Thank you again.

Great Experience

Nick was awesome! Nick is a super nice guy and very easy to talk to. He explains things in layman's terms so I can understand. Then I left the rest of it was this just a consultation or did you Nick went to court for a Township wind issue we were having. He's very well versed in township zoning laws.... He is very well versed in court procedures. It took the time to explain what everything meant as far as the judgment that went in our favor. I will highly recommend him to everyone I know if they have a Township issue!

Knowledgeable & Attentive

Nick is very knowledgeable of the laws surrounding municipalities and zoning. He was also extremely qualified to represent us beyond in appeals. He is very quick to respond and thorough in answering our questions. We would’ve been lost without him and were very grateful he represented us.

Curcio Law Firm issues legal opinion to the Pontiac City Clerk that validates Clerk's decision about medical marihuana zoning

I hired Nick Curcio, Esq. to draft independent legal opinions about medical marihuana and the Pontiac Planning Commission. Attorney Curcio's opinion on locational requirements for marijuana growers and processors confirmed my decision as the Clerk that the Pontiac Medical Marihuana Zoning Ordinance... limits growers and processors to locating into two overlay districts. I found Attorney Curcio to be very knowledgeable about both municipal and zoning law. I highly recommend him as a municipal zoning lawyer.
