Municipalities have unique legal needs. They are subject to a multitude of federal, state, and local statutes and regulations and require specialized legal representation to navigate the complexities of governing. Smith & Johnson regularly represents municipalities including: counties, cities, townships, and villages as well as their departments and employees. Our representation covers a broad spectrum of issues including: zoning ordinance disputes, employee problems, constitutional issues, privacy laws, personal injury or property disputes involving governmental employees, regulatory issues, and more. We practice in all state and federal courts as well as before state and federal commissions, including the Michigan Department of Civil Rights and the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
