Office of the City Attorney
The City Attorney's office provides legal counsel and representation to the Tallahassee City Commission, City Manager, city departments, and city-appointed boards and commissions in any suit, action or proceeding filed by or against them. The office provides legal advice at Commission meetings, performs legal research and offers advisory opinions, and responds to requests from Commission and city staff to draft or review contracts, ordinances, and other legal documents.
Please note that the City Attorney's Office does not represent or give legal advice to citizens of Tallahassee. For legal representation, you should contact either your own private attorney, the Florida Bar at (850)561-5600 or visit their website at www.flabar.org for a referral, or North Florida Legal Services at (850)385-9007 or visit their website at www.lsnf.org.
