About Joseph
Joseph F. Castiglione primarily practices in the areas of commercial, contract, municipal, land-use, administrative and environmental law, with his practice primarily dedicated to litigation in State and Federal courts. He works with municipal, individual and corporate clients through all aspects of the litigation process, including developing strategy, formulating the necessary documents and papers to pursue or defend a matter, motion practice, disclosure, conducting relevant trial work including the trial, and handling all aspects of the appellate process. Mr. Castiglione also represents individuals and companies in administrative proceedings brought by governmental agencies for alleged violations of State law and regulations.
Mr. Castiglione further works with multiple town boards, including zoning and planning boards, on town legislative and zoning issues, including working through the State Environmental Quality Review Act review process, as well as developers working with projects undergoing local permit review and in the SEQRA process. Mr. Castiglione also works with many county and town entities in the eminent domain process when those municipalities are engaged in public use projects, as well as represents land owners in valuation litigation seeking to obtain their full and fair value for lands appropriated by government entities through eminent domain.
Mr. Castiglione has lectured about zoning and legislative issues before local municipal boards, and authored multiple articles on civil litigation practice in New York State.
Mr. Castiglione was again recognized as a Rising Star under the category of Environmental Litigation in the 2014 Upstate New York edition of Super Lawyers magazine, after previously having been recognized as such in the 2013 Upstate New York edition of Super Lawyers magazine.
