Land use and zoning litigation is an area of law that involves disputes over how land is used and developed. This can include disagreements between property owners, developers, government agencies, and other interested parties over issues such as zoning regulations, building permits, land use restrictions, and environmental regulations.

I specialize in representing clients in land use and zoning litigation cases, particularly those involving Florida Statutes Chapter 163. This chapter of the Florida Statutes sets out the state’s comprehensive planning and growth management system, which establishes policies and procedures for local governments to plan for and manage growth and development.

Litigating cases involving Florida Statutes Chapter 163 can be complex, as it requires a deep understanding of the state’s land use and zoning laws and the various planning and regulatory processes involved. It can also involve dealing with a range of government agencies and officials, including local planning boards, zoning commissions, and city councils.

Some common issues that can arise in land use and zoning litigation cases involving Chapter 163 include disputes over:

• Zoning changes: Property owners and developers may seek to rezone land for different uses, which can sometimes be opposed by neighboring property owners or community groups.

• Development permits: Developers may need to obtain various permits and approvals from government agencies in order to build on their land, which can sometimes be denied or delayed.

• Environmental regulations: Development plans may need to comply with various environmental regulations, such as wetland preservation or endangered species protection, which can sometimes be contested.

• Comprehensive planning: Local governments are required to create comprehensive plans for their jurisdictions, which can be challenged if they do not comply with the requirements of Chapter 163 or other state laws.

I work closely with my clients to understand their specific goals and concerns, and I provide them with personalized legal guidance and representation throughout the litigation process. Whether negotiating with government agencies, advocating for clients in administrative hearings, or litigating in court, I strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for my clients in their land use and zoning disputes.

Rodstrom Law offers extensive experience in handling litigation related to website and application design, development, and digital services. With John Rodstrom’s unique background as the President of Real Web Technologies, Inc., a successful web development and consulting firm since 2007, the firm brings industry-specific knowledge to legal disputes in this area.

Litigating disputes involving website and application design or development can be exceptionally complex for attorneys without niche experience. These cases often involve detailed knowledge of coding languages, software development processes, design frameworks, and digital performance metrics, which can be challenging to grasp for professionals who lack direct experience in the field.

The inherent complexity in such cases arises from multiple technical aspects, such as:

• Code Integrity and Performance: Disputes often center around whether the code delivered by a developer meets the specifications or functionality outlined in the contract. Attorneys unfamiliar with coding languages (such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or server-side languages like PHP) may struggle to evaluate or argue technical failures effectively.
• Design Frameworks and Usability: Design-related issues often involve subjective judgments about whether a final product meets client expectations for usability, aesthetics, or responsiveness. Understanding the intricacies of design platforms and UX (user experience) standards is crucial in making compelling arguments regarding breach of contract or performance.
• Intellectual Property Ownership: Disputes about who retains ownership over proprietary code, designs, or databases may involve complex licensing terms or open-source software issues. Missteps in these areas can lead to costly misunderstandings or unintentional breaches of intellectual property law.
• Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC): Legal disputes may arise from delays, incomplete work, or changes to project scope throughout the SDLC. Without understanding how web and application projects are planned, coded, tested, and deployed, it becomes challenging to assess whether performance obligations were met.

John Rodstrom’s dual expertise in both web development and law offers clients a distinct advantage in resolving these disputes. With firsthand knowledge of the challenges and intricacies involved in design and development projects, Rodstrom Law is better equipped to advocate for clients—whether representing businesses or developers—ensuring that the technical and legal aspects of the case are thoroughly addressed.
