Tacoma, WA Land Use & Real Estate Attorney

Untangle the Restrictions on Land Use and Real Estate

Developers and property owners get bogged-down on land use and real estate regulations. I untangle these so you can proceed.

About Us

Halinen Law provides legal services relating to real property throughout the Puget Sound region.

As a licensed professional engineer (civil), the firm's attorney, Dave Halinen, is well equipped to deal with legal issues relating to real property matters that are technically oriented—stormwater, grading, traffic, critical areas and the engineering questions that so often decide whether a project is approved.

That engineering background, combined with more than 40 years of land use practice, lets him speak the same language as your engineers and planners, and spot weak points in a jurisdiction's technical findings.

Attorney & Local Knowledge

Attorney David Halinen

When you call Halinen Law Offices, you work directly with attorney David Halinen—not a rotating team of associates. Each jurisdiction—Tacoma, unincorporated Pierce County, Lakewood, Puyallup, Gig Harbor and beyond—interprets its code differently, schedules hearings differently, and weighs neighborhood concerns differently.

That local experience helps clients anticipate the issues that matter, from shoreline rules along Commencement Bay to rural density limits near Graham and Eatonville and infill housing in established Tacoma neighborhoods.

Communities served: Tacoma, Lakewood, University Place, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, Fircrest, Ruston, Fife, Milton, Edgewood, Sumner, Bonney Lake, Steilacoom, DuPont, Spanaway, Graham, Orting, Buckley, Eatonville, Key Peninsula.
