Invaluable Guidance on a Complex Zoning Variance

When our small business expansion in DC's Shaw neighborhood was stalled by a complex zoning variance issue, we were fortunate to engage Christopher Cohen. His deep knowledge of Washington's unique land use regulations, honed over nearly a decade of practice, was immediately apparent. Christopher meticulously guided us through the entire process, from preparing our application for the Board of Zoning Adjustment to representing us in hearings. He anticipated every potential objection from the ANC and had prepared strategic, data-backed counterpoints. His recognition in Land Use and Zoning Law by Best Lawyers is clearly well-deserved. Beyond his technical expertise, Christopher’s professionalism and clear communication kept us informed and confident during what felt like a daunting bureaucratic maze. The variance was granted with favorable conditions, allowing our project to proceed on schedule. For any real estate or land use matter in the District, I cannot recommend Christopher and the team at Holland & Knight highly enough.
