• Regularly represent residential and commercial builders, telecommunication companies, businesses and individuals before Zoning Hearing Boards, Planning Commissions and Boards of Supervisors throughout Bucks County.
• Currently representing a synagogue to get land development approval to convert a portion of an existing house into a place of worship.  We successfully defended a Cease and Desist Order, and obtained numerous zoning variances, which were appealed by the municipality. Eventually we were successful in obtaining a favorable Settlement Agreement.
• Represented a residential home builder in receiving final land development approval for a housing subdivision in Lower Makefield Township on a site covered by woodlands, streams and wetlands.
• Represented a landowner in a Quiet Title Action where we extinguished an easement on their property.
• Represented a developer in a real estate contract for the purchase of a subdivided residential property and related issue of the ability of the seller to subdivide the land in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. Used the land use process to force subdivision of the land consistent with the purchase agreement and negotiated concessions from the seller, the need for expensive and protracted litigation was avoided.
