We pride ourselves on our representation of a number of governmental
entities as cities, counties, state agencies, joint power authorities and
municipal employees. We are well versed in the procedural and substantive
defenses afforded governmental defendants by the Federal Torts Claims Act,
the California Torts Claim Act and on such related judicial doctrines as
sovereign immunity, standing, exhaustion of remedies, and the government
contractor doctrine.
We have represented public entities in cases involving alleged negligent
performance of contracts, intentional tort, assault and battery, false
arrest, constitutional torts, taking of property, employment and racial
discrimination, dangerous conditions of public property, violation of
ministerial obligations, and failure to discharge mandatory duties.
