"Tom is especially skilled in all aspects of litigation work whether conducting jury trials or resolving cases on behalf of our clients before trial," said Sherwood Guernsey. "We are proud to offer our clients criminal litigation services in addition to our already extensive civil litigation, real estate, and business transaction capabilities."

"The Law Offices of Sherwood Guernsey have established a solid tradition locally and as well as a strong practice in New York City. Founded over 30 years ago, they are trusted by three generations of clients in the Berkshires and New York City but continue to expand services to meet current client needs as well as emerging legal issues.

Among its current portfolio of clients is NBT Bank.

Dalton Planning Board OKs Gravel Company Permit

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The Planning Board approved the renewal of Nichols Sand and Gravel's special permit for earth removal. 
 
The company, located at 190 Cleveland Road, operates a gravel pit there. 
 
The hours of operation will remain 7 to 4 p.m. The commission approved owner Paul Nichols' request to allow trucks to depart the property in either direction. 
 
Nichols has to apply for renewal of the special permit every year. The previous permit required the truck to exit the property to the right.
 
It makes more sense to go left if truck drivers have to go to the Pittsfield area, Nichols said. He has talked to the residents in the area and they are agreeable to the change. 
 
Former residents requested this stipulation nearly 16 years ago to reduce the number of trucks using the residential street to avoid disturbing the quality of life and neighborhood. 
 
There weren't any residents present during the meeting who expressed concerns regarding this change.
