Welcome!
Welcome to the Long Beach City Attorney's
homepage. On June 3, 2014, I was elected as Long Beach City Attorney to a four
year term. It is my honor to serve as the City Attorney with this outstanding
staff of 64 employees, including 23 attorneys. This office is committed to
serving the citizens of Long Beach by providing the City with proactive, timely
and accurate legal services.
The City Attorney's
Office is comprised of four divisions: Departmental Counsel, Litigation, Harbor, and Workers' Compensation and has an operating budget of
approximately 9.9 million dollars for fiscal year 2016. The office is the sole
and exclusive legal advisor of the City, City Council and all City commissions,
committees, officers and employees.
You are encouraged to review this
