About Johnson & Bell's Municipal Liability Group


The law firm of Johnson & Bell, Ltd. welcomes you to the premiere issue of Municipal Law Alert written by attorneys within our Municipal Liability Group. The group has extensive experience defending local villages, townships, cities, school districts, and other municipal corporations in various state and federal litigation arising out of general tort and federal civil rights claims, including police misconduct cases, employment discrimination, pension and disability disputes, political discharge and retaliation claims, First Amendment and sexually oriented business licensing issues, environmental claims, and zoning and land use disputes. 

Attorneys are familiar with the various local and state immunities available to municipalities in the defense of tort claims and have extensive experience in defending claims brought under the various civil rights acts. We also provide counsel in the representation of the Illinois Liquor Control Commissioner and local liquor control commissioners in the administrative review of liquor license suspensions and revocations.
