Municipal Law / City Law

Model Citizens.

Growth. Development. Opportunities. Amenities. These are the words communities use to define success. In the context of everyday life, they translate into good jobs, quality housing, strong schools, safe neighborhoods and ample recreation, restaurants and shops. In other terms: quality of life.

Quality of life doesn't just happen. Cities and counties don't run themselves. They need leaders, and those leaders need lawful guidance—guidance from experienced professionals who understand employment and labor law, who are familiar with open meeting laws and data practice issues, who deftly handle real estate and development contracts, and who know the ins and outs of zoning, policy and ordinance issues.

The Municipal Law attorneys at Melchert Hubert Sjodin offer such guidance. For more than 50 years, we have helped to manage and grow the very cities in which we work and live – cities that have experienced tremendous positive change. We offer that same skillful direction and genuine concern to your growing community.

Our areas of expertise include:

  • Land use including ordinances, zoning, variances and right of way
  • Conditional use, including zoning
  • Water, wastewater and sewer regulations and management
  • Condemnation and eminent domain laws
  • Employment law

We have a history of service as city attorneys and in positions of civic leadership. Call on our experience today; whether you have a single legal question or a complicated municipal issue, we'd like to hear about it.
What Clients Say
We are a 100-year-old highway heavy construction company. I grew up in the firm and my forefathers have used Melchert Hubert Sjodin for as long as I can remember. I'm of the thinking that if it isn't broken, don't change anything. We've continued to have a good experience and have never shopped fees; the relationship has been much more important.
– Richard W., client since the 1950s
