SOLVING ISSUES IN ZONING AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS 

 
  • Land Use
     
  • Zoning
     
  • Telecommunication

This firm is the place to find solutions to your zoning issues.  My specialty is zoning cell towers.  Putting together a well-documented application for zoning boards throughout East Tennessee is what we are known for.  Our attention to detail and knowledge of the zoning arena has contributed to our victories in suing cities and opponents of cell tower sites in numerous cases.  We have been successful in permitting and zoning hundreds of telecommunications towers.

My expertise in the “Cell Tower Arena” has translated to other zoning cases.  Whether it be a sign that would light up and overwhelm your neighborhood or a road that would create too much traffic, we have fought these zoning battles.  If you have a zoning question, we can help you find an answer to it.
