Ryan Michael Leaderman

Expert guidance on a complex zoning variance

Ryan Leaderman at Holland & Knight provided excellent counsel for our small business seeking a conditional use permit in San Francisco. His recognition in Land Use and Zoning Law was immediately evident; he expertly navigated the city's complex planning codes and community opposition. His strategic advice during the hearing was invaluable, and we secured our variance. While his expertise is top-tier, communication response times could occasionally be quicker, especially during initial phases. Overall, his deep understanding of California land use regulations, honed from his practice in Los Angeles as well, made a critical difference. We felt well-represented by a true specialist in this niche field.
