About William
Biography
Based upon a long time practice of representing both public entities and developers, I utilize a balanced strategy in achieving land use objectives. As an instructor in land use law and practice of nearly 30 years, I have had a chance to develop strong working relationships with planners and decision makers throughout Northern California, bringing unique value to our private cleints.
In certain circumstances, more than a balanced approach is required. Based upon our client's needs, we also provide litigation and initiative/referendum options for both public and private clients.
