Civil Litigation

The civil litigation attorneys at Reynolds, Rappaport, Kaplan & Hackney draw on over forty-five years of combined experience in trial and appellate work to achieve consistently successful results not only in zoning and land use cases on behalf of its municipal clients, but also in a variety of other areas, including private property rights, contracts, construction law, business disputes, and probate matters. The Martha's Vineyard firm handles cases at all stages, and in all Massachusetts and Federal Courts, from the initial investigation through trial and appeal.

The attorneys have successfully litigated cases against the largest law firms in Boston and elsewhere. Mr. Rappaport, a firm founder, has argued numerous cases before the Supreme Judicial Court.  The firm is comfortable with sophisticated litigation and will provide aggressive representation when necessary, but always endeavors to maintain a focus on the end goals of our clients.
