She continued- “Robert Nudelman listened to my story, spent hours explaining the arcane rules governing zoning and Conditional Use Permits and a host of other torments. He attended and spoke at the hearings (a related one was just held this past December 10th!!) and we consistently won. It was a chain of events that changed my life.”
