Land-use attorneys
Dillard Sellers
Dillard Sellers is an Atlanta law firm that handles zoning and land use matters throughout Georgia. It describes itself as a team of consensus builders and as advocates of constitutionally based property rights, working on behalf of developers, businesses and landowners seeking approvals.
The firm guides clients through rezonings, variances, special permits and the other application processes development requires, helps resolve concerns with local municipalities, and works through licensing and permitting. Where a matter cannot be settled administratively it advises on litigation, facilitates mediation or arbitration, and presents matters in court. Much of the described work is relationship-driven: engaging community members, elected officials, engineers, architects and other real estate professionals to make the case for a project.
The firm says it was established in 2019 and that its reach runs from metro Atlanta through rural communities across Georgia. Project types listed include self-storage facilities, multifamily apartments, industrial and warehouse, mixed-use developments, adaptive reuse projects, senior living communities, healthcare facilities, fuel stations and convenience stores, and religious institutions.
The office is at 1776 Peachtree Street, Suite 415-South, Atlanta, and the published number is 678.705.1084. No rates or billing arrangements appear on the site, and the firm notes that contacting it does not create an attorney-client relationship until a written agreement is signed.
