Schedule a Confidential Consultation

We understand how frustrating it is to challenge a powerful public entity—but we also know how those entities operate. Our firm has years of experience advising local governments, which gives us a unique advantage: we know how to anticipate their legal arguments and tactics. While we cannot take on cases against government bodies we currently represent, we are fully equipped to advocate on your behalf in matters involving other municipalities.

Common Disputes Against Local Governments

Local governments are responsible for enforcing zoning laws, issuing permits, managing public land, and regulating public behavior. Sometimes, those powers are misapplied—or outright abused. We represent individuals and businesses in cases involving:

• NC Zoning & Land Use Challenges
  Disputes over rezonings, variances, conditional use permits, or denied applications.
• NC Annexation Disputes
  Challenging forced annexations or unfair boundary changes.
• NC Nuisance Ordinances
  Fighting vague or selectively enforced nuisance laws that interfere with property rights.
• NC Condemnation & Eminent Domain
  Ensuring fair compensation and challenging improper government takings of private land. Learn more about our eminent domain law services.
• Violation of Due Process or Equal Protection in NC
  Holding governments accountable when actions are arbitrary, discriminatory, or legally flawed.

Why Our Local Government Experience Matters

Because we also serve as legal counsel for multiple local governments, we have a deep understanding of how local governments make decisions, interpret laws, and defend themselves in court. That insight allows us to build stronger cases for clients who need to push back. We know the language, procedures, and priorities involved in public-sector disputes—and we know how to turn that knowledge into effective legal strategy.

We handle each case with professionalism and discretion. Our goal is not to pick fights—but to protect your rights when local authorities go too far.

Protecting Your Rights Starts with the Right Legal Team

Challenging a government decision requires more than frustration—it requires facts, legal experience, and a clear plan. Our attorneys work closely with clients to:

• Review all documentation and communications
• Identify procedural or legal missteps by the government
• Strategize negotiations or prepare litigation
• Guide you confidently through zoning boards, administrative hearings, or court
