Harry Lerch Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Bethesda
Harry Lerch, an attorney and immediate past president of Lerch, Early & Brewer, is one of the most influential land use and zoning professionals in the region.

Banks, major national retail chains, schools, country clubs, medical and health care facilities, community associations, religious organizations and automotive dealerships, as well as individuals, turn to Harry to guide them in various real estate and development endeavors. He works diligently with clients to define their objectives, then applies determination and creativity to achieve the desired results. Harry is known for his inspired approach to problem-solving; clients have described him as thinking “inside, outside and around the box.” His “secret” arises from his ability to ascertain the true facts of his clients’ cases and then to present them, in complete honesty and openness, to the neighbors, government agency and/or other decision makers, in a way that meets their standards and objectives. In case after case, the result has been a “win-win” for all concerned.. Prior to joining Lerch Early in 1970, Harry served as general counsel for the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and was a member of the Maryland House of Delegates. During his tenure at M-NCPPC, he oversaw the purchase of more than 14,000 acres of park land and was responsible for drafting numerous items of legislation affecting zoning, subdivision and planning in Montgomery County and throughout the state of Maryland.. On many occasions, Harry has served as a consultant on local, state and federal matters, and has been a member of a variety of commissions and advisory committees to the Montgomery County Council and other government bodies concerning zoning and planning issues.. Harry has argued – and won – more than a dozen major land use cases before the Court of Appeals of Maryland. He has tried many condemnation cases on behalf of both government agencies and private property owners.. Harry was born in Washington, D.C., and is a lifelong resident of Montgomery County. He received his Bachelor of Arts from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn., and his Juris Doctor from The George Washington University School of Law.. He is a longtime member of the American Bar Association’s Real Property, Probate and Trust section and its Land Use and Condemnation Law committee; the American College of Real Estate Lawyers; the Urban Land Institute; the Montgomery County Bar Foundation; the Montgomery County Bar Association and the West Montgomery County Citizens Association. He was a member of the National Conference of Bar Presidents and successfully completed the ABA Leadership Training Institute.. He has been included in the Best Attorneys in America every year since 1999 and is listed in its Real Estate Law, Eminent Domain & Condemnation Law and Land Use & Zoning Law categories. He has also been listed in the Maryland and D.C. editions of Super Lawyers since their inaugural editions.. A commercially licensed pilot since the mid-1960s, Harry is an active member of the Lawyer-Pilots Bar Association and regularly takes aerial photographs of real estate projects for strategy development. His passion for flying led him to help found and incorporate the Montgomery County Air Park Users Association and serve as its first president. He loves to travel and has navigated the skies of 49 states and half dozen foreign countries.
