Mission Statement:
To vigorously represent the City of Irving's interests and to provide superior legal counsel.

Whom We Represent:
We provide representation on a case-by-case basis to the City of Irving and its officers and employees in regard to official city business. We also provide services in Spanish. To determine whether or not the Office of the City Attorney is counsel of record for a lawsuit or administrative proceeding, please check the pleadings on file for that matter. The pleadings are on file in the particular court or administrative agency where the matter is pending.

To avoid conflicts of interest and to reserve its attorneys for the representation of the city, our office does not provide legal opinions on private matters which do not involve the City of Irving or an officer, agent or employee of the City of Irving acting in their official capacity. The attorneys of our office do not represent private parties in civil or criminal matters. Our office cannot refer you to any specific attorneys or endorse any attorney in private practice; however, if you are in need of legal representation for a private matter you may call the Dallas Bar Association at (214) 220-7444 to obtain names for evaluation, or you may contact Legal Aid at (214) 748-1234.
