Joel Favazza is the founding attorney of Seaside Legal Solutions. His comprehensive approach to practicing law allows him to handle an array of matters.

Joel has successfully represented both landlords and tenants; individual unit owners and condominium associations; construction workers and property owners; businesses and consumers; zoning relief applicants and impacted abutters; as well as clients in front of the Massachusetts Appeals Court.

A descendant of Italian immigrants who settled in Gloucester almost 100 years ago, Joel has strong ties to his community and is proud to be able to contribute to it further with his practice of law. He is currently involved with various Cape Ann youth sports programs, was a member of the City of Gloucester’s Capital Improvement Advisory Board, having previously served as vice-chair and chairman of the Board, and served as an elected member of the City of Gloucester School Committee.

Joel earned his undergraduate degree at Brandeis University, his law degree at Boston University School of Law, and has been admitted to the practice of law in Massachusetts. While a sophomore at Brandeis University, Joel started his first business in Gloucester, which he ran successfully for four years before moving on to focus on his legal career.

Joel founded Seaside Legal Solutions in 2010 as a response to the need for a 21st-century law practice on Cape Ann and is currently accepting new clients with offices in Gloucester, MA and Newburyport, MA as Seaside Legal continues to expand.
