Pucci is a shareholder at KP Law P.C., Boston, MA, and has more than 32 years of experience as a trial lawyer and appellate advocate.  He is a passionate environmentalist who balances a strong sense of compassion, community and collegiality with a mission to effectively and successfully represent clients pursuing sound land use policies and practices.
