“There is never a dull moment in the municipal world and being able to navigate different areas of the law is essential to addressing the variety of interesting, challenging, and seemingly unending issues confronting local governments.  I like to help clients identify their issues, understand their options to achieve their goals, and instill confidence in their decision-making.  We have a team of attorneys committed to serving the public sector at Jensen Baird, and our expertise in this area is second to none.”
