Our litigation team has substantial experience representing clients in land use, zoning, environmental and administrative matters throughout the process—from contested hearings through appeal. The members of our land use team draw upon our litigators early in the process to provide litigation analysis and support. Our litigators are experienced trial and administrative attorneys who appear regularly in state and federal court and administrative proceedings throughout Florida. Our attorneys have extensive experience litigating a variety of environmental and land use claims. Many of the claims include disputes regarding comprehensive land use plans, consistency challenges under Chapter 163, petitions for certiorari, permits and development orders. Our attorneys have extensive experience litigating a variety of environmental claims involving wetlands, protected species, contaminated sites, coastal permitting, consumptive use permitting, sovereign submerged lands, and riparian rights issues. These claims usually involve defending against an enforcement action or defending a permit that has been issued and challenged by a third party. Additionally, we have experience managing and defending against environmental class actions and complex toxic tort matters. We also have extensive experience in litigating restrictive covenants, easements, title issues and entitlements and in prosecuting challenges to property tax assessments and exemptions. We aggressively seek to protect our clients’ property rights, including constitutional rights, takings, inverse condemnation, Bert Harris Act and rights arising from estoppel, assuring that the value of our clients’ property is protected or compensated. Our goal is to utilize the various forums to resolve disputes so our clients can obtain the maximum use of their property.
