Danielle M. Easton

Danielle Easton provides creative solutions to protect clients’ rights and help them achieve their goals.

As part of an experienced team that defends the rights of property owners in the realm of land use and zoning, Danielle’s practice focuses on efficiency, communication, and problem solving. She has achieved approval of major developments by traversing through the administrative red tape jungle that these projects typically face. Danielle also has experience pursuing administrative appeals in court when necessary to further safeguard clients’ rights.

While her main area of practice is land use and zoning, Danielle remains engaged in a wide range of other areas of litigation, including business, torts, and appellate work.

As for the person behind the work, Danielle is a lifelong Cleveland sports fan—which she believes speaks to her loyalty, optimism, and perseverance. When she’s not recovering from the latest heart-wrenching Cleveland sports loss, Danielle occupies her free time playing soccer, visiting/catching up with family and friends, and playing with her beloved rescue pup.
