Due to our background as counsel for San Bernardino County, we have extensive knowledge in the fields of zoning, codes, contracts, development and real estate. We know the landmines to avoid so that the school construction or renovation process will be smooth and free of legal challenges, both during the work and long after the construction project is over.
