Lawyers in Hillsborough recently filed suit on behalf of Mayor Anthony Ferrera against another local attorney. According to the lawsuit, Ferrera retained Kevin Geary as counsel during the closing of his home in 1998. Ferrera claims that Geary told him the state Green Acres program would never assert its claims on a conservation easement on his property; however the program did assert its authority. The Mayor argues the changes caused the property to substantially lose its value. The lawsuit is ongoing.
