Our private clients benefit from the knowledge and experience we have obtained by representing governmental entities.

During a government approval process or an appearance before a governmental entity, you need experienced counsel.  Because we represent numerous public entities and appear before local governmental entities on a routine basis, we know how to successfully negotiate and facilitate matters in what is often a complicated political process.  We work productively with city staff, planners, engineers, planning commissions, city councils and county board of supervisors.

Let the experience of ADC&L work for you.  If you are selecting an attorney to represent your public entity or to represent you in a matter pending before a governmental entity, we have the expertise you need.
