Howard L Alderman JR

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.

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.

Howard has always shown an excellent knowledge of zoning laws and how they should be applied to achieve our goals. He has an outgoing personality and well respected by his clients, others of the legal profession and Goverment Agencies he often works with. He is a good lawyer that has represented my r...eal-estate interests well over there years and has become a good friend.

Howard represented us appealing a Baltimore County zoning violation and we were able to appeal and obtain a legal non conforming use for our property. He was not only knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy and kept us informed; he did his homework and was prepared, knows the system and is respected ...therein, provided guidance on the hiring of other experts, and was fair in his billing and providing us with expectations. I would surely recommend Howard to anyone with a Baltimore County land use/ zoning issue.
