Expert guidance on a complex property development issue

Our company retained Mr. Evertz to navigate a challenging land use and zoning variance for a mixed-use project in Costa Mesa. With nearly four decades of experience, his deep knowledge of local ordinances and real estate law was immediately evident. He was particularly adept at anticipating potential environmental litigation angles, a testament to his recognized expertise in those areas. His strategic advice was invaluable, and he successfully guided us through the approval process. While his billing structure is standard for his caliber, communication response times could occasionally be a bit slower during peak periods. Overall, we felt well-represented by a true expert in his field and would confidently recommend him for complex land use matters.
