Local Government Law
For the past 22 years, our firm has represented the City of Lawrenceville, Georgia providing the full range of local government legal services. Our firm also represents the City of Auburn, Georgia, the City of Lawrenceville Downtown Development Authority, the City of Lawrenceville Development Authority, and the Gwinnett County Water & Sewer Authority. In the past, our lawyers have also served as attorneys for the Cities of Lilburn, Norcross and Snellville in Gwinnett County.
One service provided to our local government clients is acquiring real property by use of the power of eminent domain. Georgia has recently adopted a new set of statutes that strictly limits the exercise of this power. Our firm was one of the first in Georgia to represent a city using these new rules.
WTPM&W has extensive experience in representing local governments in zoning cases. This record is well documented in the appellate courts of Georgia:
