Advising Local Government Entities And Those Dealing With Them
Whether it is the condition of a local street, the actions of local police, municipal code enforcement or zoning officers, the status of water or sewer systems, an existing or proposed subdivision, zoning matters, or a variety of other activities, local municipal governments impact the lives and activities of individuals and companies on a daily basis.
Few people understand how to deal with their local municipal government regarding what services it provides, how to contact the appropriate officer or employee, what documents may be required and how to properly prepare them, and what municipal regulations affect them.
