City Attorney Craig J. Cornwell

With over two decades of experience in municipal law, I have honed a deep understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that drive effective city governance. Throughout my career, I have served in key roles where I’ve led complex contract negotiations, civil litigation, public works, code enforcement, and legislative drafting efforts.

I am committed to advising city councils, boards, commissions, and other governing bodies through navigating legal risks and ensuring compliance with both state and local regulations. My expertise extends beyond legal counsel, as I am passionate about contributing to the strategic decision-making processes that shape thriving, sustainable communities.

With a hands-on approach to local government challenges, I provide practical insights on legal frameworks, risk management, and policy development. My aim is to support city leaders in creating effective, legally sound solutions that foster community development and long-term sustainability. Through my work, I strive to help build stronger, more resilient communities by offering guidance on the legal aspects that shape local government success.
