Public Entity & Government Liability Defense

Representing Cities, Counties, Districts, and Public Servants

We represent public entities and their employees against government tort claims, dangerous-condition-of-public-property suits, employment claims, and civil rights actions. Our public entity work spans municipalities, school districts, community services districts, and law enforcement agencies across Northern California — from Sacramento to the Oregon border.

Our attorneys understand the unique procedural and substantive protections available to public defendants — statutory immunities, claim presentation requirements, and the discretionary act doctrine — and use them strategically to control exposure. We are active members of the Government Liability Substantive Law Committee of DRI, and our partners have presented on Monell claims, the Heck Doctrine, and PC 69/148 defense.
