Addis Legal Services

Municipal & Labor Law

Trusted Council for Michigan Local Governments

For over 20 years, Addis Law Firm, PLLC has served as proactive general counsel and trusted advisor to cities, villages, townships, and other public entities across Michigan.

You work directly with senior attorneys who each bring 20–35+ years of hands-on experience as city attorneys, township counsel, labor negotiators, and municipal prosecutors. You will never be assigned to a junior lawyer or passed off to outside litigation firms.

Municipal leaders rely on us for fast, practical, and decisive guidance on the full range of day-to-day and complex legal challenges, including:

  • Drafting, interpreting, and defending ordinances
  • Zoning, land use, and planning disputes
  •  Union negotiations, collective bargaining, and labor relations
  • Employment contracts, discipline, and personnel matters
  •  Property tax appeals and Michigan Tax Tribunal litigation
  • FOIA, OMA, and regulatory compliance
  • Public contracting, bidding, and project oversight
  • Prosecuting ordinance violations and code enforcement
  • Risk management and litigation avoidance strategies

What Sets Us Apart

Unmatched Depth of Experience

Our attorneys don’t just advise municipalities — we’ve served in the roles you fill every day: city attorney, township attorney, prosecutor, and chief labor negotiator for decades.

In-House Litigation Strength

When litigation is unavoidable, our seasoned trial team takes over immediately. No outside counsel, no loss of institutional knowledge, no added expense — just seamless, aggressive representation from the same attorneys who gave you the advice in the first place.

Proven, Practical Results

Clients repeatedly describe us as the most responsive, dependable, and effective municipal law firm they have ever worked with. We prevent problems before they start, resolve issues quietly when possible, and win decisively when court is the only option.

You get big-firm capability with small-firm attention and cost — all focused on one goal: helping your community operate smoothly, stay fully compliant, and avoid unnecessary risk and expense.
