ROYAL OAK, Mich., July 6 /Christian Newswire/ -- Daniel P. Dalton, one of the nation's leading attorneys in religious land use law, has authored the chapter in the West 2010 Zoning and Planning Law Handbook on the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA). West publishing contacts the top attorneys in their respective fields to author chapters of its Zoning and Land Use handbook. Dalton was selected for his success in RLUIPA cases nationwide.

Dalton recently launched www.AttorneysforLandUse.com, an online resource offering valuable information and advice pertaining to the Religious Land Use.

He also is a chapter author of the recently published book "RLUIPA Reader: Religious Uses, Zoning and the Courts," co-edited by Michael Giaimo and Lora Lucero. The book offers general background about RLUIPA and a practical discussion about RLUIPA litigation from the perspective of both churches and communities.
Dalton dedicates much of his practice to representing religious institutions in RLUIPA cases, acting both as general counsel and offering special litigation. In his own words, "RLUIPA is the great equalizer in land use law; it truly levels the playing field for religious institutions." Each of Dalton's RLUIPA cases resulted in the religious institution achieving permission to worship on the disputed parcel of land.
