Governmental Entities

Walton Lantaff maintains a longstanding practice dedicated to representing governmental entities and public institutions throughout Florida, including municipalities, counties, law enforcement agencies, school systems, public authorities, and other governmental and quasi-governmental organizations. Effective representation in this area requires not only litigation experience, but also an understanding of the legal and operational realities unique to governmental organizations and the public responsibilities they serve. 

The firm’s governmental entities practice includes successful defense of claims involving workers’ compensation, assault and battery, false arrest, malicious prosecution, negligent hiring, supervision and retention, as well as civil rights actions such as those brought under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1983, and 1985. Walton Lantaff’s seasoned risk management and legal counseling capabilities offer aid to governmental entities confronting legal challenges, while preserving the public trust, operational effectiveness, and organizational stability upon which their communities depend.
