James W. Spickerman

When I need the assistance of an attorney with expertise in land use law, I call on Jim Spickerman. Jim is available, responsive, and of great help. His years as a hearings official, combined with his practice tenure, provide a substantial first-person understanding in the areas of land use and zoning. I heartily recommend Jim as a land use expert ready to assist anyone needing help.

Jim has a vast wealth of knowledge and experience in land use matters. He served for many years as the Hearings Officer for the City of Eugene. He is extremely well connected and respected with all layers of government dealing with Land Use Matters. Jim understands the give and take necessary to help move complicated real estate projects forward and has represented both myself and many of my top clients.

My experience with Mr. Spickerman has been in the land use arena. He is knowledgable, efficient, and has been able to prevail on my behalf in short order while avoiding an adversarial position. I'd recommend Mr. Spickerman without hesitation.

Douglas Lee

James Spickerman has assisted us through many different land use issues and he has repeatedly proven to be a tremendous member of our team. His extensive knowledge of Oregon land use laws, plus the multitude of local county and city variances, has saved us countless hours and many dollars over the years. In addition, he offers years of experience dealing with the many different government agencies and those key individuals in this arena which many times is just as important as what you know. I highly recommend Jim Spickerman as a credible and valuable land use attorney.
