One of Maryland’s Best-Known Law Firms
in Land Use, Zoning, and Permit Acquisition


The Bethesda law office of Abrams & West has built a reputation among individuals and businesses in Montgomery County for its skill, knowledge and experience in the areas of zoning, land use, and permit acquisition. In addition, we counsel municipalities on their zoning and land use needs and represent them in administrative hearings, trials, and appeals. Contact Abrams & West for representation.

Attorney Stan Abrams “wrote the book” on zoning and land use law in Montgomery County and much of the state of Maryland. In fact, he is the author/co-author of four books: Guide to Maryland Zoning Decisions, How to Win the Zoning Game, Handling the Land Use Case, and Land Use Practice and Forms.

New development, rezoning, and special exceptions to change use when repurposing land or a building subdivision; or site plan approvals, permit acquisition, and judicial appeals to make changes to a property—when your real estate issue is critical to your success, it is equally critical to work with an experienced land use and zoning attorney. With decades of practical experience in the field, Mr. Abrams was described in Rockville v. Rylyns, 372 Md. 514, 814 A.2d 469, 482 (Md. 2002), as the "venerable scribe of Maryland zoning jurisprudence."

Contact our Bethesda law office to speak to a lawyer today regarding your legal concern. In addition to land use and zoning, Abrams & West handles a wide range of legal issues for individuals and businesses, including contract disputes, civil litigation, criminal defense, and will contests in probate court.
