Municipalities Election

Political and election law is an ever-evolving area of the law that lends itself to confusion and potential liability.

Our attorneys advise clients on the responsibilities of local election officials and address any concerns that may arise. We are experienced in guiding municipal clients through electoral board proceedings every step of the way from preparing and providing notice of hearings to preparation of the required written decision and on through appeal, if necessary.

The attorneys at Robbins Schwartz advise and represent clients in all aspects of these bonds, including: filing and perfection, negotiations with surety, and litigation to enforce rights and remedies.
