The name Civica Law reflects the mission of our firm: service to communities and the public through assisting cities and counties in enforcing their laws effectively, efficiently and fairly, and defending agencies against risks and lawsuits they may face.

Years Of Service

Our team is made up of attorneys and paralegals who have spent their careers helping code enforcement and their public agencies protect and improve their communities. With over 100 collective years of experience, our team has helped cities and counties abate thousands of dangerous and substandard properties, improve housing conditions, and effectively deal with a wide range of quality-of-life issues, from homeless encampments to cannabis, drug, and gang dens to illegal gambling (or tap-tap) facilities, illegal business operations, human trafficking and massage, land use, and zoning, and virtually every other conceivable quality of life and safety issue a public agency may face.

We stay ahead of legal changes by monitoring federal, state, and local governments to help our clients act quickly. We translate new laws and legal rulings into clear, actionable guidance for public agencies to help them comply with the ever-changing municipal landscape.
