“The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves — in their separate, and individual capacities.”
–Abraham Lincoln
A municipal lawyer represents government bodies or boards to ensure that there is complete compliance with the Constitution and the statutes of the State of Indiana. However, municipal lawyers also represent property owners and private citizens when they oppose government action.
With the aid of a skilled municipal lawyer, communication between governments and the community is enhanced. With better communication, the government can be more responsive to the needs and wants of the people it serves. This free flow of information will allow private citizens to have their concerns addressed.
