Local Government Issues
|
When allegations of police misconduct arise, those complaints are investigated by the police's Internal Affairs Department, and then ruled upon by a Chain of Command Board, comprised almost exclusively of police officers and city employees. Citizens have a limited opportunity to appeal these decisions in a closed, confidential session before the City's Citizen Review Board. Parton & Associates Attorneys are familiar with the Board's unique procedural rules and fights to ensure clients' complaints are taken seriously, decided impartially, and that officers are held responsible when there is wrongdoing. |
Homeowners' Associations have statutory authority to regulate a wide range of issues and are authorized to impose financial penalties which, when unpaid, can result in a lien on your home. Due to the fact that HoA Board Members are almost always interested individuals who live in the neighborhood, they often misuse their power and disregard their declarations and bylaws. Parton & Associates works with HoAs to resolve issues amicably and, when necessary, has the experience and skill necessary to fight for the homeowner's rights, forcing HoAs to abide by their by-laws and meet their requisite burdens of proof before imposing penalties |
