Stamford, Connecticut Land Use and Zoning Attorneys
Sandak Hennessey & Greco LLP is one of the leading zoning and land-use firms in Connecticut. Geographically we focus our efforts in lower Fairfield County including Stamford, Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Westport and Norwalk, but complex matters often draw us beyond these towns.
Our land use and zoning attorneys handle a wide array of land use issues including complex zoning changes, special permit applications, site plan reviews, subdivisions, wetland reviews, coastal permit reviews and variances. Our clients range from major international corporations to both local and national developers, many non profits such as churches, schools, hospitals and clubs as well as private homeowners.
We represent clients before all boards that have authority in zoning and land use issues, including municipal boards, coastal, area management boards, the state traffic commission, and local wetlands boards. We also litigate zoning issues in the superior court and have been involved in numerous appeals to high courts on land-use issues.
If your request for a zoning change or land-use permit is turned down by a local board, it is important to contact a land-use and zoning attorney as soon as possible because you have a limited time - as little as 15 days in most cases - to file an appeal.
Our experience
Our attorneys have considerable experience on issues of municipal law as it relates to land use, zoning and development issues.

Two of our attorneys served as Corporation Counsel for the City of Stamford and one served as Corporation Counsel for the City of Norwalk .

In addition, many of our attorneys served in various elected or appointed capacities for Stamford and other Fairfield County municipalities.
