- Conditions On Municipal Property. Represented municipal clients in personal injury actions involving allegedly hazardous conditions existing on municipal streets, sidewalks and playing fields and in municipal buildings, schools, firehouses and police stations, often succeeding in having the municipality dismissed from the lawsuit either voluntarily or by motion.
