Mitch is a former Commissioner of the Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA), a former director of the Department of City Planning's (DCP) Brooklyn office, and a former deputy director of DCP's Staten Island office.
Mitch has been recognized by Chambers USA as one of New York City's leading zoning lawyers for the past seven years.

In doing so, he navigates the complexities of the City's byzantine zoning resolution - guiding clients to the most efficient intersection of their business goals and what the rules will allow. He also keeps clients abreast of political headwinds that could impact their properties or development plans.
