Local Government

Morris & Morris attorneys have  represented a variety of foreign governments, state agencies, boards, localities and municipalities.
The firm also has experience advising local governments and their officials in litigation.  We recognize that local governments often find themselves in complex and unique litigation matters.  We have the experience to help.
For Example, one of Morris & Morris’ partners served for three years as outside Special City Attorney representing the city of Richmond in antitrust litigation. Another partner served as lead counsel in contested annexation and immunity cases for several counties in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Morris & Morris attorneys have represented the city of Richmond on a wide variety of matters for over 20 years.
Our representation of local governments has included prisons and jails.  One of our attorneys has extensive experience as a prosecuter at the local and state level.  She has handled hundreds of habeas corpus cases.  in addition, we have experience representing jail and prison officials in civil rights cases and petitions to the Supreme Court.
Local governements also find themselves subject of civil rights claims.  The firm has extensive experience successfully handling the complex contours of these types of cases on behalf of our clients.
