Along with advising the municipality on enforcement options for those ordinance violations, they will also represent the municipality in the enforcement action.


Eminent Domain & Condemnation Proceedings

Our municipal lawyers have assisted political subdivisions in multiple condemnations and inverse condemnation proceedings related to construction easements, road widening, public facilities and parkland, airports, and other public uses. In addition, they've provided representation in these matters before boards of view, courts of common pleas, and appellate courts.

Municipal Litigation

Our municipal lawyers have extensive experience handling arbitrations, hearings, trials, and appeals for municipalities, cities, and other political subdivisions as solicitors, conflict counsel, and special counsel. These disputes are litigated in numerous forums before judicial or quasi-judicial bodies such as arbitration panels, local hearing boards, boards of view, state administrative law judges, state hearing boards, courts of common pleas, trial courts, and appeals courts.

Right to Know

Our Bucks, Delaware, and Montgomery County municipal lawyers guide municipalities, school boards, zoning hearing boards, and other governmental agencies and boards in all areas related to compliance with the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law and Sunshine Act.
