About Us
Coastal Tower Law represents property owners, landlords, cities, counties, and public agencies in telecommunications and real estate law.
We do not represent wireless carriers, telecommunications providers, or tower companies.
Coastal Tower Law was founded by its principal attorney David Nagele, a California telecommunications attorney with over ten years of experience in real estate law and the telecom industry.
David assists property owners, landlords, and public agencies with a broad range of transactional and regulatory telecommunications matters as well as real estate and land use matters.
He specializes in negotiating lease and license agreements for cell towers and small cell facilities. David also focuses his practice on lease compliance, enforcement and cost recovery to protect clients’ property rights and business interests.
For local government clients, David develops policies and ordinances to regulate and manage wireless and wireline telecommunications facilities on private property and in the public rights-of-way. He also advises local governments about wireless location, siting, development and design issues in connection with permit applications.
Before founding Coastal Tower Law, David represented public agencies and private landowners at Colantuono, Highsmith & Whatley, PC, and Telecom Law Firm, PC. David also has previous experience negotiating wireless agreements for a privately held telecommunications infrastructure company and can provide clients with unique insights into the wireless industry.
David received his J.D. and Environmental, Land Use, and Real Estate Law Certificate from Chapman University School of Law, and his bachelor’s degree in History from Santa Clara University. In law school, David interned with two City Attorney’s Offices and received a “Commitment to Service” Pro Bono Award for Government Service.
David has been licensed to practice law in California since December 2011.
