Michele McDaniel Rosenfeld is a Rockville lawyer whose practice focuses on real estate property, land use, and zoning matters. She appears before local planning and zoning agencies and litigates at the trial and appellate levels. Her work includes regulatory, judicial, and legislative issues connected to land use and development. She advises clients on preliminary plans, site plans, variances, conditional uses, boundary disputes, easements, stormwater damage, utilities, preservation, and eminent domain matters.

Rosenfeld earned her law degree from American University Washington College of Law and a B.A. in English from the State University of New York at Binghamton. Her education supports the written analysis, statutory interpretation, and advocacy required in land-use and property matters. These cases often involve detailed administrative records, local regulations, planning standards, and contested factual issues, making clear legal writing and careful review central to effective representation.

Rosenfeld spent ten years as the lead attorney for the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission’s Montgomery County Planning Board before entering private practice. Earlier, she worked for the National Association of Home Builders, advising developers nationwide on project-specific land use, zoning, and liability issues. That background provides direct experience with the public regulatory process as well as the legal concerns of property owners and development professionals.
