Office of the City Attorney
Our philosophy - law in service of the public - guides how we provide legal services to the City of Oakland. |
|
The Office of the City Attorney provides legal counsel to the City
of Oakland, its employees, officers, agencies, boards and commissions.
In this capacity, the OCA drafts ordinances, resolutions, contracts and
other legal documents requested by city officials and departments, reviews
the form and legality of all city contracts and represents the city in
litigation matters.
Our mission is to 1. Provide the highest quality legal services to the City of Oakland; 2. Promote open government and accountability to the residents of Oakland
in accordance with the letter and spirit of the law, and; 3. Apply the law in an innovative and community-oriented manner to improve the quality of life in Oakland. As a team we are committed to providing
professional legal services that are efficient and accessible
to the residents of Oakland, to whom we are ultimately accountable.
The City Attorney's Office does not represent individuals in private matters. Please go to Legal Resources for information about assistance with a private legal matter. |
