Experienced in handling complex development matters

Traditional zoning has evolved into comprehensive development codes, subdivision regulations, conditional uses, planned unit developments, neighborhood conservation districts, historic districts, downtown development districts and more.

As communities grow and prosper, land use policies become increasingly complex. It is no surprise that recent growth in our region has caused an increase in county and municipal land use regulations. We help clients find their way through what can be a confusing process. We work with local zoning and land use professionals to provide assistance with proposals and applications. Our attorneys guide clients through negotiations and hearings with local government officials and administrative boards who oversee land use, subdivision and zoning matters. In all of these dealings, our approach is to present our clients' positions in a forthright and professional manner so that our clients can achieve their development objectives while enhancing the communities in which we live.

Litigation.

Our attorneys represent clients in state and federal court in litigation matters with local governments relative to development issues, including challenges to zoning decisions, special use permits, and other land use regulations.
