“A team like ours offers clients a collective blend of know-how and creativity.”

Don deciphers little-known facets of zoning law for land owners, developers and builders to leverage.

He handles real estate transactions, community development projects, regulatory, and construction matters, and is adept in zoning and land use, including land development approvals, variances and special exceptions, zoning appeals, and zoning code compliance.

Representing some of the nation’s foremost wireless telecommunications carriers for years, Don has assisted in the development of state-wide communications networks. He successfully argued the benchmark case that held wireless telecommunications carriers were not subject to township zoning regulating tower and antennae placement, except in limited circumstances.

While serving as Partner-in-Charge of the firm's Cleveland office, Don maintains an active practice focused on administrative and regulatory matters, real estate and zoning for telecommunications companies and banks, as well as labor and employment matters.
