What My Clients Say

I hired Attorney Reiser to represent me in front of the Andover CT. Zoning Board. Her research was amazing. Her attention to detail was impressive. She was able to take a seemingly impossible situation and find a way to make it possible. Watching her present in front of the Zoning Board had me in awe. She was professional and knew the history and facts without missing a beat. She answered every question with ease and respect, leaving everyone feeling what we were asking for was absolutely reasonable! We are thrilled to say she helped us get our lot approved as a building lot and we couldn’t be more grateful! I highly recommend her for any and all land use situations!!
