Expertly navigated a complex commercial property dispute

Our company was facing a significant commercial litigation matter involving a disputed land use agreement with a neighboring property owner. The situation was tense, with potential for costly and protracted court battles. From our first consultation, Brian McMillan demonstrated a command of the intricate zoning regulations and land use laws specific to Charlotte and North Carolina. His background in both commercial litigation and eminent domain law proved invaluable, as he immediately identified leverage points others had missed. Brian’s approach was strategic and measured; he prepared meticulously, explaining each step clearly without resorting to unnecessary legal jargon. His advocacy was steadfast, and he successfully negotiated a settlement that not only protected our commercial interests but also preserved a critical business relationship. While his recognition in Land Use and Zoning law is well-deserved, it was his practical, client-focused strategy that truly impressed us. For anyone navigating the complexities of property rights or commercial disputes in the region, Brian McMillan at Brooks Pierce is an exceptional choice.
