Local Government Law.

TimberlakeSmith has been serving State and Local Government clients since 1972. Our experienced attorneys understand the unique and complex issues facing our state and local government clients who often find themselves in the middle of intense public and media scrutiny. In addition to litigation, we assist with the creation and implementation of employment and personnel policies, land development regulations, local ordinances, and law enforcement manuals and ordinances. We also provide training and continuing education to our local government clients.
