In Macon and beyond, we represent people who have been injured in all types of accidents

As you may know, there are different types of laws that citizens must abide by. Federal law applies to anyone in the United States. State laws can be different depending on which state you are located, as well as local laws. Local laws apply to a specific county, city, or town. The lawyers in Macon at Noland Law are equipped with the knowledge of local and state government laws when it comes to the municipalities of Georgia and the state at large. We represent cities, counties, law enforcement agencies and officers, government officials, and governmental boards in all matters of local government law.

Here are some common cases that fall under local and state government law.

Board Representation

Being a member of a board is an important position. The National Council of Nonprofits advises, “Just as for any corporation, the board of directors of a nonprofit has three primary legal duties known as the ‘duty of care,’ ‘duty of loyalty,’ and ‘duty of obedience.’” If your organization’s board needs representation in the courtroom, William Noland, a lawyer in Macon at Noland Law Firm can assist.

Government Liability

The Federal Tort Claims Act permits private parties to sue the United States in a federal court for most torts committed by persons acting on behalf of the United States. Some examples of a government liability case are:

• Being hit by a United States mail truck.
• Falling into an uncovered hole on a city street.
• Negligent damage to a person or property by police.

If you think your case falls under the government liability criteria, contact the lawyer at Noland Law, William Noland.

Civil Rights Litigation

Injury and civil rights cases involving governmental entities are complex and unique due to the limits on liability and the immunities afforded by the government. At Noland Law, we are experienced in dealing with these issues and have litigated them in both state and federal courts for years. For example, if you are a victim of discrimination or assault due to your race or sexual orientation. A lawyer in Macon at Noland Law will be more than qualified to handle a civil rights case for you.

Employment

There are labor and employment laws that are specific to the state of Georgia, and the lawyers at Noland Law have extensive knowledge of the laws and regulations enforced by the Department of Labor. Some issues involved in employment that can be the means of a case include workplace safety and health, wages and work hours, and equal employment opportunity.

Open Records/Meetings Law

Georgia’s open meetings and open records laws provide guidance to county officials to create and maintain trust in those who are elected to represent our state government. Open meetings and open record laws ensure that Georgia citizens maintain their right to observe the process by which local officials make decisions that affect their daily lives. Contact the lawyer in Macon at Noland Law for representation regarding open meetings & records laws.

Planning and Zoning

Planning and zoning procedures govern the use of land in municipalities and counties. If you suspect that the land in your town or city is being misused or not properly regulated, contact the lawyer at Noland Law, William Noland.

Property Tax Appeals

If you disagree with the amount of property tax on your notice, you may file an appeal. A successful appeal could mean that your property tax bill could be lowered by a significant amount. However, there are deadlines for the appeals process, so hire a property tax lawyer in Macon from Noland Law to assist you with your property tax appeals.
