Municipalities face the full spectrum of claims and issues that arise in litigation. Cases involving municipalities, however,  regularly implicate the United States and New York State Constitutions and defenses and procedures unique to municipalities. We handle all aspects of claims against municipalities, including premises liability, insurance coverage, nursing home abuse, malpractice, deliberate indifference claims against correctional facilities, workplace accidents, excessive force, unlawful arrest, unlawful imprisonment, malicious prosecution, wrongful termination and  discrimination. We also defend municipalities in Article 78 proceedings.

 

Our attorneys handle these matters throughout all stages of litigation including discovery, negotiation, mediation, arbitration, trial and appeals in state and federal courts and administrative tribunals
