Welcome!

The philosophy of the City Attorney's Office - Law in Service of the Public - guides how we provide legal services to the City of Oakland. We fulfill this motto by defending Oakland's progressive policies in court and by initiating legal action when the community's quality of life or economic interests are jeopardized.

One of my highest priorities as City Attorney is enhanced dialogue with the community. Please click here to send us your questions or comments.
