The Piper Law Firm is experienced in representing clients before various administrative bodies. Few attorneys know the intricate ins and outs of a state and federal administrative law practice.
Simply put, Administrative Law is the area of law dealing with licensing and regulations. In other words, the government (state of federal) provides a person a license or structures the way in which a certain activity is undertaken. Failing to comply with the governmental rules and regulations can result in a denial of a person's license.
In the federal system, the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.s) controls the operation of agencies such as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Social Security Administration (SSA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Not only do these rules regulate how the agencies operate internally, but they also regulate how the agency deals with the public in matters as minor as grazing permits to pilot's license. Although not enacted by Congress, each of these rules carry the force of law.
Likewise, the behavior of state agencies, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), Department of Real Estate (DRE), Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) and the California Coastal Commission obtain their operating and licensing procedures from the California Code of Regulations (C.C.R.).
Finally, many local governments have minor agencies that must follow the rules set forth by the city council. Everything from parking enforcement to water restrictions are usually handed down at the city or county level.
Being denied a license or permit by a massive bureaucratic system can be very frustrating for most people. Often, the person seeking the license or permit can become lost in the morass of red tape. In order to prevail one must know the rule and know how to fight city hall.
