Coleman Talley has been representing local governments since our founding partners began the firm's representation of the City of Valdosta. With 50 years of combined experience, Coleman Talley's local government group can provide a multitude of services to governmental entities. While most law firms of our size only represent local governments after they have been sued we offer a sophisticated time-tested approach to prevent local governments from having to call upon its insurance to respond to actions brought by adversarial litigants.
Whether it is a matter of parliamentary procedure or complex environmental litigation, our attorneys represent local governments in matters involving zoning, intergovernmental issues including HB 489 negotiations, licensing, education law, condemnation, voting rights and employment matters. We also assist local governments with projects such as creating employment and personnel policies, land development regulations, law enforcement manuals and ordinances.
