Municipal Interests

Municipalities and other public entities are facing an increasing number of legal actions, combined with escalating scrutiny from the public and the media.  For these reasons, it is important that public entities and authorities have proactive, creative representation that is sometimes discreet, but always cost-efficient and effective. 

Our attorneys assist public entities and public entity insurers in risk management and offer suggestions to proactively prevent liability and reduce potential exposure. In the event of litigation, Collins & Lacy attorneys apply a unique blend of thorough fact-finding and creative and progressive trial strategies to achieve favorable outcomes.

Our attorneys also have experience representing public entities with the power of eminent domain; their comfort with eminent domain procedures is indispensable, given the increasing number of municipal projects such as sewage and water expansions in many growing communities.
