Expert guidance on a complex land use matter

Jon Gelman provided exceptional counsel for our firm's mixed-use development project in Jacksonville. His deep knowledge of Florida land use and zoning law, honed over 16 years, was immediately evident. He navigated the complex municipal approval process with precision, and his recognition in this specific field gave us great confidence. Jon's strategic thinking saved us significant time and potential roadblocks. While his billing structure is standard for a firm like Greenberg Traurig, and there were occasional delays in email responses during very busy periods, his on-point advice and results were well worth it. We achieved our entitlements efficiently.
