Welcome! My name is Joseph Brennan. I’ve been practicing law in Warwick, Rhode Island as a licensed attorney for over a decade. We work in collaboration with fellow attorneys collectively possessing almost 100 years’ worth of Real Estate and Land Use experience.

Here at Brennan Law Office, we make it a priority to keep communication open with all of our clients, and we do our best to return phone calls and emails the same day or the very next day.

My practice concentrates in the areas of residential and commercial closings, leases, municipal government affairs, and land use law including zoning and planning matters. Other matters include business formation and corporate law, tax appeals, tax stabilization agreements, licensing, liquor licenses, and auto dealers’ regulations, and many more. I have extensive experience representing clients with their development projects and working directly with local officials, leaders, and their staff to advance projects forward to obtain approvals in a way that is beneficial to both the client and the community at large.

In addition to my private practice, I currently serve as the Attorney for the Pawtucket Housing Authority, and as co-counsel for the Warwick Housing Authority. I also serve as the Attorney for the West Warwick Arctic Redevelopment Agency and am the Attorney for the Environment and Natural Resources Committee for the House of Representatives.

Our Story

Our Team

Joseph Brennan

Esq., Owner

My first experience as an Attorney was as an intern for the prominent Real Estate Law Office of K. Joseph Shekarchi. From day one I began falling in love with the process of working directly with everyday people to assist them with their real estate needs from single-family zoning and closings, all the way up to big commercial developments, and everything in between.

It is our ability to work with so many different people and so many different real estate problems that make the job fun, interesting, and different every day.

As time went on the practice continued to grow quickly. Now I continue to work in conjunction with those same Attorneys who got me started, solving big and small issues in a busy and thriving Real Estate Law Office.

  • “Without Joe, we wouldn't have succeeded!”

    “Back in 2018, I purchased the property for my Sonic location in Warwick on Bald Hill Road. Unfortunately, we did not find out until after the purchase the extent to which the property has major issues including subdivisions, easements, and problems relating to a sewer connection. Despite being on the verge of a disaster, Joe was able to resolve these issues and get us to a successful place. Without Joe’s guidance and hard work, we would have never been able to open our Sonic and enjoy our success. I will never use another attorney for any Real Estate Matter. Thanks, Joe!”

    Chris S.
    Owner of Sonic Restaurants

  • "Excellent experience!"

    “I have known Joe for over 20 years now and when I purchased my first home I was petrified. I bought it through foreclosure, and it was very stressful. It felt like everyone was giving me different answers and had no clue what was going on. Joe was the only one who always knew exactly what was happening, gave me straight answers, and predicted how the process would go.”

    Alicia N.
    Warwick Homeowner

  • "Great Attorney! We had the best experience!"

    “My wife and I own a Realty Group that restores residential and commercial buildings. We met Joe about 4 years ago when we needed his services for an East Greenwich Zoning project that required a lot of variances from the local ordinances and came with a lot of neighborhood pushback. He blew us away with his representation before, during, and after the meeting. I know we can trust Joe to handle any problem we may encounter and lead us to a successful and timely resolution.”

    Tom and Kelly C.
    Owners of Touchdown Realty Group

    “I have known Joe for over 20 years, and he should be the first call for anyone thinking about buying or selling real estate.
