Municipal Defense
With experience in the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, where evidence was sensational and police officers the cornerstone of evidentiary proof, Clausen Miller P.C. attorneys have special insight into how municipalities work.
We have defended municipalities against claims including civil rights violations alleged against police officers and city administrators, employment issues, and contract and tort claims including matters concerning paramedic negligence, real estate development, and annexation.
We defend teachers, school boards and school districts on sensitive and potentially explosive issues, including sexual harassment, age, race and religious discrimination, and student rights and responsibilities. We have successfully vindicated school policies precluding wearing gang regalia, allowing the Pledge of Allegiance, and many other First, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment claims.
