Land Use and Real Estate Development

I have had the pleasure of working with Howard on many zoning and land development projects over the last fifteen-plus years. He is well respected within the industry and provides my clients with efficient, knowledgeable, and professional counsel. His experience with land development issues at the ...local and state levels is exceptional.

Vice President, Residential Development

I have worked with Howard Alderman on a variety of real estate and land development projects in recent years. I have the utmost confidence in his abilities and have found Howard to be knowledgeable, personable and highly professional.

Land Use, Zoning and Develpment Practice before the Zoning Commissioner of Baltimore County

As Zoning Commissioner for Baltimore County, I conduct quasi judicial hearings involving zoning cases, including variances, special exceptions, non conforming use, special hearing and proposed development plans. These pubic hearings result in granting approvals or denials. Mr. Alerdman's legal rese...arch, drafting of memoranda and out-going demeanor make him one of the finest land use attorneys in Baltimore County/State of Maryland. He is both intellectually and diversely qualified in the specialized field of land use and zoning with its plethora of entangled regulations.

Excellent representation

Howard, preformed great service to our family, helping us complete a complex real estate transaction. He answered our questions, explained clearly the process and represented our interests with care and expendiency. His knowlege, experience, patience and tenacity brought the transaction to a satify...ing conclusion.

Howard helped me alot with some developement issues and they where resolved. He has been one of the few lawyers I have worked with that helped me and I got something for my money. My father has worked with Howard and was pleased enough to recomend him to me. I would use him again in the future.

Land use and zoning lawyer | Apr 29

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. My professional relationship with Howard Alderman has been limited to land use and zoning matters, however, I would highly recommend him as counsel to handle any legal issue, including land use and zoning. Howard Alderman was opposing counsel on at least two cases. In addition to obviously being highly competent on the issues involved in the dispute, Howard was professional and reasonable in his approach to both cases. My respect for Howard is such that I have reached out to Howard for a second opinion on various matters over the years. J. Neil Lanzi, Esquire"

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
