Bernstein Shur attorney Roy Tilsley was featured in New Hampshire Magazine’s annual spotlight on the state’stop lawyers, recognized in the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America for his work in commercial litigation.
Roy was one of only eight attorneys from across New Hampshire selected for this year’s feature, which highlights not just professional excellence, but also the unique perspectives and personalities behind the practice of law. As a seasoned land use lawyer and probate litigator, Roy helps property owners, developers, and beneficiaries resolve disputes with clarity and confidence. He shared why he loves what he does with New Hampshire Magazine:
“Land use law is democracy at its most basic level. Volunteer citizen board members make decisions regarding what their neighbors can or cannot do with their property. Night after night in town halls throughout the state, all the things that make democracy great and challenging play out in real time. My role is to help clients walk the fine line between the requirements of the law and the art of appealing to their neighbors. People feel strongly about their property, their neighborhoods and their communities. Uses that make perfect sense in some places can be horrible nuisances in others. Navigating these choppy waters is never boring.”
