Representing Real Estate Professionals Throughout The Lower Hudson Valley
Our Land Use and Zoning practice area is led by partner Dan Hollis who has been practicing law in Mount Kisco for over 50 years. Whether the client’s plans involve a large commercial developer, a religious or educational institution, a business looking to initially construct or to expand its facilities, or individuals looking to subdivide their residential land, we can bring a high level of sophistication and attention to detail to help our clients deal with the most intricate, nuanced and complicated issues that might present themselves during the zoning and planning approval process.
We are known and respected by many of the local land use and planning boards throughout Westchester County and the Lower Hudson Valley, as well as the city, town or village employees who manage the zoning and planning process, which helps to smooth what can often be a cumbersome and lengthy process.
