Litigation Support

Our senior team of accomplished professionals is experienced in litigation support, whether as an expert witness or by providing critical technical analyses and graphics that support your position. We know how to advocate for our client and how to present the information in a way that is understandable and convincing.

We practice litigation avoidance at the earliest stages, and litigation support when alternatives at resolution have failed and protecting client investment is key.  We’ve learned, at public hearings and court hearings, that it takes more than an academic opinion about planning theory to establish an effective legal argument.  Our experiences representing communities, developers and property owners will add a practical perspective and technical expertise to your team, having participated in a wide range of property rights issues - site planning and land use analysis, annexation, site selection, development review, infrastructure financing, natural resource extraction, energy and utility infrastructure siting and intergovernmental cooperation.

“If a policeman must know the Constitution, then why not a planner?
