Kassouni Law was founded on the belief that property rights and personal freedom are intertwined. It is our mission to rigorously defend your Constitutionally protected property rights against government and private abuse. Within that realm, Kassouni Law represents private developers, businesses, and homeowners who are encountering difficulties in all procedural aspects of development and planning.

When a property owner wishes to build a commercial structure or residence, there can be a number of government obstacles to overcome. In addition, neighborhood opposition can often be well organized and designed to sway elected council members and supervisors from granting development approvals.

Unlike zoning law, there are undefined and purely subjective standards that are often applied by local governments to thwart development. Many cities and counties, for example, have design standards based upon the general aesthetics of existing community development. "It just doesn't blend with the design and size of neighboring structures" is a common objection. In these situations, the property owner can be frustrated by having to submit a number of successive proposals without any specific response from the government as to what would be acceptable.

With an unwavering commitment to the protection of private enterprise, Kassouni Law attorneys seek to get projects underway in the most cost-effective and efficient means possible. By listening closely to clients, our attorneys develop a strategy based on specific needs and concerns. The lawyers then assist property owners in clearly articulating challenges to community objections, and work to ensure that procedural notice requirements are complied with.
