Understanding Municipal Law: Navigating Complex Legal Issues for Municipalities

Since CGA Law Firm opened its doors in the late 1960’s, we have been representing public officers and municipalities. The firm represents over 60 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.

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.
