Expert Guidance on a Complex Municipal Zoning Issue

Our municipality engaged Tommie Cardin of Butler Snow to advise on a complex, politically sensitive zoning and annexation matter that had stalled for years. With his deep background in administrative law and government relations, Mr. Cardin immediately understood the legal landscape and the practical realities of working with various state agencies. His nearly four decades of experience, particularly his recognized expertise in government relations practice, were evident from our first meeting. He provided clear, strategic counsel that helped us navigate the procedural hurdles and public hearings effectively, ultimately achieving a favorable resolution. While his billing rates reflect his senior standing and the value he brings, communication response times could occasionally be a day or two slower than we'd have preferred during non-critical phases. Overall, his knowledge of Mississippi-specific regulatory processes is unparalleled, and I would confidently recommend him for any entity facing a challenging government-related legal issue.
