Administrative & Public Law Matters

​

  In the United States, individuals and businesses are far more likely to encounter administrative and public law systems than the traditional court system. These systems include government agencies, boards, tribunals, and commissions—and they have the power to affect your daily life, livelihood, and operations.

  At Birch Hill Chambers, we understand the complexity and breadth of administrative law. Whether you’re dealing with a parking or traffic citation, professional license renewal or disciplinary action, or facing a regulatory investigation, we’re here to help you navigate these often confusing and bureaucratic systems.

 

Common Administrative Law Issues We Handle:

​

​* Parking tickets & traffic violations: Challenging citations and avoiding points on your license or fines.

​​​

* Business & professional licensing: Applications, renewals, denials, suspensions, or revocations involving doctors, lawyers, contractors, real estate agents, etc.

 

* Health, building & code violations: Defense against municipal or state enforcement related to restaurants, rental properties, and construction sites.

 

* Zoning & land use disputes: Hearings before planning boards, zoning appeals, and local permitting issues.

 

* Environmental regulations: Compliance with EPA, state environmental agencies, and defending against fines or shutdowns.

 

* Employment & labor board issues: Disputes involving wrongful termination, wage/hour violations, or union representation before public commissions.

 

* Housing discrimination complaints: Defense or prosecution of Fair Housing Act claims before HUD or state equivalents.

 

* Copyright, trademark & licensing enforcement: Especially before administrative agencies like the U.S. Copyright Office or USPTO.

* National security & public safety reviews: Representation in security clearance hearings or government investigations.

Why Administrative Law Matters

 

  Administrative bodies often operate under different rules and timelines than traditional courts. Hearings may be informal, but outcomes can have serious consequences—fines, business closures, professional discipline, or even disqualification from government programs. Legal representation during these proceedings is critical to protect your rights, reputation, and future.
