MUNICIPALITIES

We at FKDSSF recognize the special needs and considerations facing municipalities in these very trying economic times. Our municipal practice group attorneys have in the past and continue to provide knowledgeable legal services to local municipal agencies, boards and entities in a learned and cost efficient and socially responsible fashion.

The municipal practice group has had the privilege to provide quality, insightful and responsible legal services to our governmental clients on both the trial and appellate levels in many wide ranging claims. These include matters dealing with claims of professional and general negligence, sexual assault, premises and property liability, motor vehicle negligence,building and premises security issues, improper police and ambulance services and behavior, illegal employment termination, improper discontinuance of governmental benefits and claims of county, state and federal constitutional violations.

FKDSSF
The municipal practice attorneys pride themselves on their ability to identify and address relevant issues, assess the potential for liability of the client and in many instances their aggressive approach in seeking summary dismissal of actions on both substantive and procedural grounds during the early stages of the litigation. We have also been quite successful in negotiating settlements both independently and through the alternative dispute process which are highly favorable to our municipal clients from both an economical and philosophical standpoint.
