For more than 35 years, we have represented the interests of municipalities in Illinois, providing skilled guidance and invaluable counsel in matters ranging from bond issues to employment considerations to reviewing and drafting ordinances and resolutions for towns and villages.

As elected officials come and go and appointed individuals change, municipal, city, and county laws are constantly evolving.

Our attorneys work with municipalities, including towns and villages, on matters related to:

• Administrative adjudication of local ordinance violations;
• Freedom of Information Act administration and compliance;
• Government finance;
• Municipal code maintenance;
• Municipal prosecutions;
• Open Meetings Act compliance; and
• Ordinance and resolution drafting and review
