Reviews

Confronted entrenched and powerful interests on a rezoning opposition case and set up case for strong litigation position resulting in tremendous settlement. At every stage of approval process, precisely predicted moves of developer and city allowing perfect position for large settlement.

John helped carry forth our vision of obtaining quality master planned community approvals that provided us with an edge versus our competition. Expanded the utility of existing development law and unafraid to push boundaries of interpretation with municipal actors. Creatively read and applied existing laws to help us craft new approaches to annexation, special taxing districts, development standards and limits on liability. Fearless and not able to be intimidated by in-house and outside firm municipal counsel. Regularly obtained entitlements better than competition.
