Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Our experience has overall been extremely positive. We started with the firm with Greg Riegle and now Scott Adams, and have been most impressed with their ability to strategize on complex zoning issues, but also use their relationships to resolve issues and navigate bureaucracy.’

  • ‘Their demeanor and approach to zoning cases is so refreshing. They are very tactful and calculated in how they present in public and respond to questions or concerns, but also instill a level of trust with anyone they are speaking to, which makes a typically very controversial process as painless as it could be. When we see competitors present and navigate the process, we are reminded of how nice it is to work with individuals who approach their work in a different way that is so much less antagonistic.’
