Municipal Law
Since its establishment more than thirty years ago the law firm of Climaco, Lefkowitz, Peca, Wilcox & Garofoli has been directly involved in some aspect of every significant event that has occurred in Greater Cleveland.
From representation of Cleveland City Council during the dark days of Cleveland's default to becoming general counsel to the Gateway Economic Development Corporation of Greater Cleveland during the city's renaissance, the firm has been a driving force in the area's revitalization.
Public Finance
In 1977, Climaco, Lefkowitz, Peca, Wilcox & Garofoli became the youngest law firm in the State of Ohio, and only the second firm in the City of Cleveland, to be recognized as accredited municipal bond counsel in the Bond Buyer's Municipal Marketplace, or the "Redbook." Since that time, the firm has served as bond counsel, issuer's counsel or underwriter's counsel in over 100 transactions involving over $3.5 billion of financing.

This unique experience qualifies the firm as experts in the area of municipal law. CLPWG has used this experience in a wide variety of matters on behalf of private clients on issues involving public law throughout the State of Ohio. The firm has been retained in various cases including disputes over the award of governmental contracts, affirmative action programs, special elections, zoning and issues facing elected and appointed government officials.
