Connecticut Land Use and Zoning Litigation Attorney
Barrie Goldstein has counseled clients ranging from individual homeowners to government entities for more than three decades in land use and zoning cases. She handles land use, zoning and other types of real estate-related disputes for clients in Litchfield County and the surrounding portions of western Connecticut and southeastern New York, including New York City.
Ms. Goldstein’s 20 years of experience working for the government is particularly valuable in helping clients battle government agencies - from local boards and commissions to state and federal regulatory bodies - over their rights as property owners.
Barrie Goldstein represents individual property owners, real estate developers, associations, and other affected parties in land use and zoning matters ranging from obtaining building permits to historical preservation. She coordinates traffic and environmental impact studies, requests for permits, and development plans, and represents clients before regulatory boards. Her land use practice includes:
- Building permits and environmental permits
- Special use permits and variances
- Subdivision approval
- Sewer and water issues
- Easements and boundaries
- Violations of environmental regulations
- Zoning enforcement
Barrie’s capability to find fair and just solutions for her clients derives from her comprehensive understanding of constitutional law and how it applies to each case. In one high profile case in Litchfield County, she has invoked federal due process statutes into a seemingly local land use quarrel.
Earlier in her career, Ms. Goldstein was on the other side of the dispute where she successfully defended a government client against a constitutional challenge to the proposed redevelopment of Times Square.
Her understanding of both sides - and the key issues - in these often highly-contentious matters comes from years of experience working directly with both individual and government clients.
