DESCRIPTION OF LEGAL SERVICES

Cofield Law Office has over fifteen years experience practicing land use law in Oregon. The practice focuses on gaining approvals for urban and rural land use applications in the complicated Oregon land use system. Cofield Law Office represents property owners and developers in simple matters such as drafting a required access easement or deed restriction to coordinating all aspects of subdivision and planned unit developments.

Cofield Law Office handles all aspects of a land use application, from coordinating with other consultants, such as engineers, surveyors and planners to developing the legal strategy necessary to win approval from government officials.

Cofield Law Office successfully helps property owners and developers get approvals with the minimum of litigation by advocating for her clients’ property rights at the local level. Cofield Law Office recognizes that development approval must be cost effective to be successful.

Cofield Law Office brings an understanding of the Oregon land use system and constitutionally protected property rights to each and every development application. Resolving opponent and conservation issues at the local level is an important aspect of gaining land use approval. At the same time, Cofield Law Office has the legal background to represent property owners in appeals to the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) and the courts.

With its strong background in rural land use law honed from lobbying for favorable rural land use laws during the 1993 and 1995 legislative sessions, Cofield Law Office is a key player in the Measure 49 and development process.

Any property owner or developer affected by land use and growth will benefit by contacting Cofield Law Office.
