CITY / CITY ATTORNEY RELATIONSHIP <br /> <br />As the City Prosecutor, we serve at the appointment and direction of the City Council. We <br />are open to client input from both the police department and city staff regarding the <br />performance of our prosecution work on the City’s behalf. As the prosecutor, however, <br />we are bound by the code of ethics governing our profession to make an independent <br />judgment regarding the prosecution of any particular matter, without regard to political <br />concerns. In terms of communication, we will generally respond to emails or phone calls <br />from city staff or police department personnel the same day, and no longer than 24 hours <br />of any request. <br /> <br />E. CONFLICT OF INTEREST <br /> <br />GDO Law does not believe that it has or currently represents any clients whose <br />representation may conflict with our ability to provide legal services to the City of New <br />Brighton. We do not currently represent any real estate developers in the area. Should <br />conflicts of interest arise on any prosecution matter, we are generally able to resolve such <br />conflicts by referring these matters to other prosecuting agencies, at no additional cost to <br />the City. <br /> <br />F. REPORTING OF PROSECUTION EFFORTS <br /> <br />It is our current practice with the cities we represent to provide both the police officer <br />involved with the case and an administrative person at the police department with timely <br />notice of the resolution of all cases. We also provide prompt updates to the police <br />department when warrants are issued for defendants that fail to appear in court. <br /> <br /> <br />
