Zoning, Planning, Land Use & Property Rights
From Preparing and Processing Applications to Defending and Prosecuting Lawsuits on behalf of both Municipalities and Private Property Owners
This Office represents people, private and public entities, developers, and municipalities on projects ranging from applications for minor variances to applications for major subdivisions and site plans for commercial buildings, shopping centers, senior housing and single and multi-family housing developments. In representing Property Owners we have helped clients achieve their goals and avoid the loss of value or use associated with municipal zoning power at every level of zoning in accordance with existing ordinances and, where such is not in accordance, by pursuing relief such as a variance or special permit. On occasion, we have achieved the client’s goals by showing the zoning ordinance to be unconstitutional or illegal.
We strive to keep clients abreast of developments in a given municipality to ensure their goals and objectives are met.
