5 municipal law attorneys serve Birmingham. They advise local government and represent private parties dealing with it — zoning and land use approvals, ordinances, public records and open meetings requirements, code enforcement, eminent domain and claims against public entities.
Claims against a public body carry notice requirements and immunities that do not apply to private defendants, and the notice deadline is often measured in months. Ask about it immediately.
For land use, the value is local: ask whether the attorney regularly appears before the planning commission or council that will decide your application.
