Exceptional guidance on a complex municipal zoning issue

I hired Ryan Lizanecz at Jensen Baird to assist my small business with a challenging zoning variance application in Portland. Despite his relatively recent graduation from UMaine Law, his knowledge of municipal law was immediately evident and proved to be incredibly deep. He expertly navigated the local ordinances and hearing process with a professionalism that belied his two years of practice. His recognition in municipal law was well-earned, as his strategic advice was crucial in securing our approval. Ryan was responsive, clear in his explanations, and genuinely invested in a positive outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any local government or land use matter.
