Municipal Law
Done Right
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At The Metropolitan Firm, our philosophy is different than other firms. We understand that cities have hyper localized legal issues that need custom, tailor made solutions. We put an emphasis on community engagement and education because we believe the less legal work we need to do, the happier everyone is. That’s right, our ultimate goal is to minimize our role as much possible not maximize it for profit.
Most cities participate in a broken system. They are forced to pay mercenary law firms exorbitant sums of money to prosecute members of the community civilly and criminally for an array of violations. The more they prosecute, the more money they make. We believe this is an unsustainable system and an inherent conflict of interests.
Our team is comprised of people with decades of experience in civil law, municipal law, criminal prosecution and criminal defense. At The Metropolitan Firm, we are passionate about this new approach to municipal law and want to help your city save money and get more compliance.
