Litigation: Municipal and Administrative Proceedings

Many disputes, including variance, special use and other zoning matters, are heard before municipal bodies. Review by the courts, if at all, occurs under strictly limited standards. Fox, O’Neill & Shannon, S.C. has wide experience practicing before city, village and township municipal panels and other such bodies.

Some matters, including environmental, transportation, wage and hour and housing and employment discrimination issues, are initially heard by state administrative bodies, such as the Departments of Natural Resources, Transportation, and Workforce Development.

Like municipal matters, these proceedings require the development of a proper and persuasive record at the administrative level. FOS stands ready to help clients find their way through these complicated administrative procedures, and achieve a fair and beneficial result.
