Michael McDonagh Now General Counsel for Lamacchia Companies

Lamacchia Companies is pleased to announce that Michael McDonagh has joined as General Counsel. Michael has years of experience and knowledge in the legal side of real estate and will be a tremendous asset to Lamacchia Companies and, most specifically, Lamacchia Realty.

"I am very excited to have Mike with us! He brings a depth of knowledge in the legal aspects of real estate transactions, unlike anyone else I have worked with. We worked together for several years during my involvement with the Massachusetts Association of REALTORS® Government Affairs committee, and I was always impressed with his legal expertise, work ethic, communication skills with REALTORS®, and his vast knowledge of how things work in Beacon Hill. I know he will be a tremendous asset to the Lamacchia Companies for many years to come”
