i • <br />BACKGROUND INFORMATION <br />GENERAL MUNICIPAL EXPERIENCE <br />The lawyers in our firm have served as city attorneys, assistant city attorneys, assistant <br />district attorneys and assistant attorney generals. There are very few firms that represent <br />municipalities that can honestly say their attorneys have spent time working inside city <br />government. This gives us an advantage over other firms in that we truly understand the <br />workings of local government from the inside. We also understand the financial restraints that <br />cities face today and the fiscal standards that city councils are held to by the voting public. We <br />count our time working inside city government as our most valuable asset. The four partners in <br />this firm have over 80 years of combined legal experience in advising and representing cities and <br />counties. <br />Our Firm does not work in a vacuum, rather, we have an extensive contact system with <br />attorneys across the state and across the country that are on the cutting edge of public entity <br />representation. Our Firm is a member of IMLA (International Municipal Lawyers Association, <br />formerly NIMLO), this is a national association for city attorneys. We are one of the first <br />private law firms, and one of the few, to be named a Certified City Attorney Office by the Texas <br />City Attorneys Association <br />The Firm provides legal advice and assistance to local governments, their employees anal <br />public officials in just about every conceivable area of activity. Because of the experience and <br />abilities of the attorneys of the Firm, we are often in a position to provide prompt and thorough <br />responses to initial inquiries to assist in the recognition of potential liabilities and reduction of <br />the risks associated with the operation of a Texas local government in today's legal environment. <br />
