Beyers Costin co-founder and Managing Partner Chris Costin has been with his firm for more than 30 years, focusing on cases related to Real Estate, land use/zoning, and bankruptcy and creditor/debtor rights in Santa Rosa, CA. His litigation practice includes construction defect, environmental contamination, real estate finance, purchase disputes, and partnership matters. In Santa Rosa, in particular, land use and zoning are hot-button issues due to anti development sentiment in the community, restrictive local government policies and extreme environmental activists. Individuals and businesses often need the guidance of a lawyer to predict and traverse the bureaucratic minefield. Numerous companies have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on site studies and environmental reports only to be shut down after months and years of jumping through hoops trying to get a project approved. California Chief Justice Ronald George appointed Mr. Costin to a three-year term on the Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee of the California Judicial Council. Having the distinction of being selected as a Super Lawyer in 2006, 2007 and 2008 and 32 years experience in his field Mr. Costin is well qualified to handle any entity he represents.
