We are committed to position our municipal clients at the forefront of all available planning and risk management strategies. We monitor developments in the Pennsylvania legislature and decisions from Pennsylvania courts that affect municipalities, and recommend appropriate courses of action at both the state and local levels. For example, our firm has actively assisted our clients in coming into compliance with the M4 requirements of EPA by preparing Stormwater Ordinances that meet or exceed the Bucks County Model Ordinance’s requirements for stormwater facilities and implement Best Management Practices.

We are effective litigators. Our firm has successfully prosecuted matters through the Pennsylvania Supreme Court with landmark decisions in two important cases. In addition, we have successfully represented our municipal clients in proceedings before the Environmental Hearing Board, the Public Utilities Commission and before other administrative bodies. From irradiators to show clubs to requiring property owners to remove hazardous conditions, we have been at the center of practically every legal issue faced by municipalities.

Our firm offers a “team” approach, with a designated primary contact to attend municipal meetings. Our attorneys devoted to serving our municipal clients are Terry W. Clemons, and Scott A. MacNair. Scott is the newest addition to our firm. Having worked in the Bucks County District Attorney’s office for five years, he brings the finely honed skills of a litigator to our practice. Stefan Richter also engages in litigation matters, and handles our homeowner and condominium association clients. He is always available to service our municipal clients on matters of special concern or when the work demands dictate. Peter Reiss specializes in tax matters and assists our municipal clients with bond and other borrowing issues, as well as other matters having tax implications.
