Public Law Section

Walter & Haverfield has provided general and special legal counsel to governmental bodies since the firm's founding in 1932. Our public law attorneys represent several Ohio communities as law directors, assistant law directors and prosecutors. We serve as special counsel on various public law issues to municipalities, counties, townships, special development districts, metropolitan housing authorities, school boards and other political subdivisions throughout the state of Ohio and in other states. Our goal is always to prevent needless litigation, but we are fully prepared to represent our clients aggressively at any level of the judicial process and we have been involved in many precedent-setting public law cases decided by the Ohio Supreme Court and two United States Supreme Court cases.

We provide counsel and representation in such areas as:

  • Public Employment Issues
  • Prosecutions
  • Zoning and Land Use
  • Drafting of Legislation and Regulations
  • Defense of Civil Rights Actions
  • Self Insurance Pools
  • Defense of Public Officials
  • Eminent Domain Issues
  • Awarding of Contracts
  • Regulatory Compliance
