George A. Hall, Jr., Partner  
George A. Hall, Jr. joined the firm in 1989, after five years of land use and real estate development practice, and became a partner in 1993. His practice is concentrated in municipal law (he is Town Counsel to Wrentham and Norfolk, and special counsel to several other towns), wetlands protection, Title 5, and other land use matters, as well as real property disputes involving easements, rights of way, and boundaries. George has served for 10 years as an officer and director of the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions, most recently as its president, and frequently lectures on state and local "home rule" wetlands protection regulations. He has served the Department of Environmental Protection as a member of its Riverfront Advisory Committee, which developed regulations under the Rivers Protection Act, and as a mediator of wetlands adjudicatory appeals. A graduate of Georgetown University, he received his J.D. from Northeastern University School of Law.

In 2005 and 2006, he was named a Massachusetts "Super Lawyer" among the state’s municipal services attorneys. This designation is based on a survey of Massachusetts attorneys and reviewed by an independent blue ribbon panel. (Listed attorneys and finalists consist of the top 5% of attorneys in Massachusetts in polling conducted by Massachusetts SuperLawyers and Law & Politics Media.)
