Members of Kane Ballmer and Berman have a combined expertise of over 275 years in redevelopment, local government law, elections law, eminent domain and related areas. When the Firm assists a client, it sees itself as an integral part of the client's managerial team, not just as an outside consultant. That's because many of the Firm's principals worked as full-time attorneys for local governments. Currently, principals of the Firm serve as general and special counsel to several redevelopment agencies, cities, counties, community college districts and public agencies throughout California. All the members of the Firm believe local government is a vital institution where the most innovative and direct governmental problem solving can and does occur. Each member of the Firm is actively committed to participating for the benefit of the constituents served by its clients.
