Municipal Law Attorneys in Central Pennsylvania

Representing Our Growing Communities

Boardrooms to Townships since the late 1960s

Since CGA Law Firm opened its doors in the late 1960’s, we have been representing public officers and municipalities. The firm represents more than 40 municipal clients throughout York and Adams Counties. 

We understand the importance of staying up to date on the latest developments in federal and state law. As developments arise we advise you on how the law pertains to your local government. Our municipal attorneys are members of the  Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs, and the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors and Pennsylvania Municipal Authority Association. In addition, we regularly attend seminars on municipal topics, both on a state and local level, and subscribe to several municipal law publications. To keep our clients well-informed on timely issues, CGA Law Firm publishes a municipal newsletter and offers informative seminars.

CGA Law Firm’s municipal law practice is designed to provide thorough and practical legal advice to entities faced with a wide variety of legal and governmental issues. Our efforts are designed to support local officials by offering them guidance, but only when needed. We provide legal representation with an approach that is also fair to citizens and sensitive to their concerns.

Our attorneys serve as general counsel and special counsel to public entities and represent our clients’ interests in all venues – before Federal, State and Local courts, State Agencies, the American Arbitration Association and other Administrative Bodies.

Municipal leaders need sound legal advice from attorneys that can anticipate and address the requirements of today’s challenges. Let CGA Law Firm provide you with the service and commitment that your municipality needs to successfully serve its constituents.
