This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Stellar representation. Marc’s technical expertise & superb communication abilities led an outcome that exceeded expectations.

I hired Marc to represent me on a land use issue for a proposed residential development project in my neighborhood. The goal was to reduce the size and impact of the project. Marc expertly navigated all the twists and turns during the process, which ultimately resulted in the project plans being co...mpletely withdrawn from the City. Marc is knowledgable, thoughtful, diplomatic and trustworthy. He educated me, kept me updated, and was very responsive to all my questions. His work included everything from boots on the ground site visits to the drafting and filing of numerous legal documents and representation at multiple hearings. Marc really cares about his work and the environment, and lives his life aligned with his values. He’s personable and knows just when to add a touch of wit and humor while providing steadfast advocacy and support. He’s down-to-earth while flying at a very high level.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A thoughtful, and knowledgeable diplomat, and a very effective representative.

In what could’ve been a tense situation involving pesticide overspray, Marc turned the situation into a negotiation which resulted in a good solution for both parties.

Our recent experience with counsel Marc Chytilo

We recently found ourselves needing legal counsel and guidance regarding a proposed macro-cell telecom antennae installation very near our family home in a quiet residential area of our city. From the beginning, Marc clearly shared with us the limited scope of our possible avenues of battle with th...is corporate giant. He carefully and concisely explained the federal legislation in place "protecting" the corporation from our Appeal effort in which we attempted to find a more appropriate site for their proposed installation. Prior to retaining his services as counsel we had contacted several well respected local lawyers and each of them recommended Marc as the best person for the job. As a result of Marc's expertise and knowledge we were able to gather community support to join us in our effort, as well. With Marc's many years of experience as an environmental lawyer in both CA and CO he understood our problem and guided us to an acceptable alternative resolution to our dilemma. We highly recommend Marc Chytilo to persons who may be in need of his environmentally sensitive, skillful and trustworthy counsel.
