 W. Brian Howell
Brian Howell was admitted to practice law in 1969 after graduating from The University of North Carolina School of Law. Prior to the law, Brian studied Civil Engineering at North Carolina State University (BSCE, 1966).
For nearly 40 years, Brian has engaged in a varied trial practice. From 1972 through 1974, Mr. Howell served as Associate General Counsel for a large North Carolina regulated utility. While there, he was engaged in a wide variety of complex commercial and regulatory matters, including construction, regulatory, administrative, and environmental issues. Brian returned to private practice in 1975, where he focused on litigation of complex land use issues, including "right to take " issues in condemnation cases.
Since then, he has litigated numerous land use cases in a number of counties around the state as well as diverse property rights issues including zoning, annexation, and regulatory matters. Although he has represented condemning authorities in limited instances, his primary emphasis has been representation on behalf of landowners against the condemning authorities.
Mr. Howell’s civil engineering background provides a unique understanding to condemnation cases, allowing for better communication of the issues at play. |
