Municipal Law

Michel & Associates has collectively more than 75 years of experience advising cities, municipal agencies, and other governmental entities, and litigating cases on behalf of governments.  Michel & Associates attorneys have successfully won cases involving dangerous conditions of public property, law enforcement practices liability, employment liability, and other issues faced by government agencies every day.

Michel & Associates’ list of clients includes dozens of government agencies, regional authorities, and municipalities.  We have advised municipalities and other agencies about proper ordinance drafting, regulatory interpretation and implementation, labor relations, and other governance issues.  We provide full “city attorney” services as well as counsel on discrete issues such as ordinance drafting, environmental and regulatory compliance, law enforcement best practices, and other ad hoc issues faced by cities, counties, and other agencies.

We also anticipate the ever-changing needs of local government as new laws take effect.  We provide model policy and ordinance drafting services to address cities’ needs for such policies as laws change and new circumstances arise.
