Our Expertise

Our attorneys have substantial litigation and trial experience, with unique knowledge of public entity law and its clients' particular needs and concerns. We strive for perfection in our litigation, trial expertise, negotiation skills, and aggressive approach for each of our clients. Our expertise extends to various practice areas, including Civil Rights Litigation, Government Torts, Employment Issues and Litigation, Disability Discrimination Litigation, Law Enforcement Liability Defense, Governance and Statutory Compliance, and more.

Our Approach

We understand that public entities have more at risk in litigation than the basic cost versus risk analysis. When a public entity is sued, it faces policy and political concerns that must be considered in deciding a litigation strategy. That's why we work closely with our clients to develop a strategy at the outset of litigation that provides the best possible outcome, whether that be through trial, motion practice, or settlement. Our goal is to provide tailored solutions that cater to the unique needs and goals of each client.

Our Services

We offer a comprehensive range of services, including litigation and trial representation, negotiation and settlement, mediation services, and critical incident response support. Our attorneys are also experienced in providing general counsel and litigation counsel in a wide variety of public entity matters, including advising clients regarding governance and statutory compliance, requests under the California Public Records Act, labor and employment issues, public contracting matters, and pre-litigation dispute resolution.

Our Commitment

At Leone Alberts & Duus, we are committed to representing public entities and are keenly aware of the unique challenges they face. We believe in working together with our clients to achieve the best possible outcomes, and our success is a testament to our dedication, experience, and commitment.
