Legal disputes involving public entities often implicate political, fiscal, and operational realities.
Cassidy Coates Price represents counties, municipalities, and special districts in litigation and administrative matters involving complex governmental and regulatory issues. Our attorneys understand the unique legal challenges public entities face and provide practical counsel informed by statutory authority, public policy considerations, and fiscal constraints.
We represent public entities in lawsuits brought by or against counties, cities, townships, school districts, and municipal authorities, and we work proactively with clients to avoid litigation when possible.
