North Carolina Quasi-Judicial and Administrative Appeals Attorney James Eldridge
It can be frustrating and disadvantageous when you feel like you have meticulously filled out the forms, supplied all the documentation, and made provisions to abide by all the regulations — but your land use approval, permit application or request for a variance was still denied. Maybe the planning director or code enforcement officer disagrees with you on how a particular zoning provision should be interpreted, and you end up dealing with a notice of violation that will be expensive to comply with. Remedying incorrect denials and misinterpretations like these will likely require a quasi-judicial hearing at the local government level and, possibly, a judicial appeal.
At the Eldridge Law Firm in Wilmington, North Carolina, we understand your frustration and the importance of your land-use plans. We have extensive experience working with developers and property owners in quasi-judicial hearings and appealing, both to the local government and to the North Carolina courts, denied applications and incorrect decisions.
The Advantage of Working With an Attorney Skilled in Quasi-Judicial Hearings and Administrative Appeals
North Carolina quasi-judicial and administrative appeals attorney James Eldridge knows how to use such procedures to advance your land use plans and appeal the wrongful denials thereof. One such procedure is the quasi-judicial hearing, which is more like a trial than a public hearing. The proper presentation of competent evidence, the tendering of expert opinions, and effective direct and cross examinations are critically important to the outcome of the case. As a skilled communicator, seasoned litigator and experienced municipal attorney, James Eldridge has appeared in quasi-judicial hearings, and appealed the results thereof, in cases involving:
- Administrative appeals of zoning interpretations
- Denied special use permits
- Code enforcement matters
- Zoning and flood plain variances
It is our goal to protect the rights and interests of developers and property owners throughout North Carolina, and we will aggressively appeal incorrect interpretations, faulty code enforcement decisions and erroneous quasi-judicial decisions.
