Our mid-sized development firm faced a significant hurdle when a neighboring group challenged the environmental review for our San Jose mixed-use project. The opposition was well-organized, and the potential delays threatened the project's viability. We engaged Linda Klein based on a colleague's strong recommendation, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Linda's dual recognition in Environmental Law and Land Use and Zoning Law was immediately evident. She didn't just react to the challenge; she deconstructed the opposition's arguments with a meticulous understanding of both CEQA intricacies and local municipal codes. Her strategy was proactive and precise. Linda guided us through a supplemental analysis that addressed concerns head-on, while her litigation-ready posture in negotiations demonstrated a depth of experience that belies her years at the bar. Her ability to translate complex legal jargon into clear business risks and opportunities was exceptional. The matter was resolved favorably without protracted litigation, preserving our timeline. Linda’s professionalism, strategic acumen, and calm demeanor under pressure were outstanding. She is a formidable advocate who earns her recognition.
