When our small business faced a daunting and potentially costly zoning violation notice from the city, we were referred to Paul La Fayette at Freeman Mathis & Gary. From our first consultation, his deep, focused knowledge of Ohio Municipal Law was evident. He didn't just see a violation; he understood the intricate local ordinances and the practical realities of dealing with municipal boards. Paul meticulously prepared our case, explaining each step clearly without resorting to confusing legal jargon. His background, including his recognition in this specific field, gave us immense confidence. He successfully negotiated with city officials, transforming a situation that threatened our operations into a workable compliance plan with favorable terms. Paul’s professionalism is matched by his genuine personal investment in his clients' outcomes. For anyone in Columbus navigating the complexities of municipal law—whether zoning, licensing, or liability issues—I cannot recommend Paul La Fayette highly enough. He is a strategic and dedicated advocate.
