State & Municipalities Litigation Lawyers in Oklahoma City

We Have the Knowledge You Need to Navigate Your Case

State and municipalities litigation involves litigation in state and federal courts concerning lawsuits brought specifically against counties, cities, towns, school districts, police departments, and other governmental entities. These lawsuits often involve challenges to zoning and planning decisions, procedural and substantive claims under the Open Meetings Act or the Freedom of Information Act, and litigation over intergovernmental agreements and relationships.

A city, town, county, or state government can be held responsible when it causes injuries, just as any normal person or business can be held liable. However, unlike normal personal injury lawsuits, there are rigid steps to follow and deadlines to meet for an injury claim against the government. Failure to follow these steps or meet a time deadline can sink your injury claim.

Common State & Municipalities Litigation

• Eminent domain proceedings
• Code enforcement actions
• Disputes over the scope of home rule powers
• Citizen taxpayer suits
• Tax proceedings
• Election law challenges
• Questions related to the appointment of emergency managers
• Disputes involving governmental entities, whether based in contract or tort

Although the disputes that municipalities may face are quite varied and broad, municipal litigators bring a special expertise to each of these disputes because of their familiarity with and knowledge of the specific universe of statutory law that applies to public bodies. State and municipalities litigation involves not only an understanding of the basic underlying dispute between the parties, but also an understanding of how the dispute is affected by the laws regulating and governing governmental entities in a specific jurisdiction.
