Her legal experience has focussed on commercial and residential real estate matters, including land use, zoning and development.
Patti is known for her thoughtful, responsive and principled approach to issues facing her clients. She believes ZBA decisions should be grounded in facts, law and fairness, not politics, and is committed to being a reasoned, impartial voice on the board.
