Because our clients include municipalities as well as developers and landowners, we are well versed in the application and use of the "police power" governing zoning issues and the many issues that arise at each stage of the process, including application approval and compliance issues. Our experience on "both sides" of proceedings before planning boards, zoning boards of appeals (ZBAs) and other legislative bodies provides us with uniquely valuable perspectives that allow us to provide our clients with the most effective counsel. For those times when litigation proves necessary or advisable, we have invaluable experience prosecuting and defending special proceedings and related matters.
