UCCI offers, at no additional fee, the assistance of retained legal counsel, Giffin, Winning, Cohen & Bodewes, P.C. This access is a benefit of membership of UCCI. Legal opinion letters are drafted in response to inquiries from County Board Chairs on issues that are relevant to member counties. UCCI legal counsel does not represent UCCI member counties, or their officers, and offers these opinions as general explanations of the legal issues identified in its opinion. Counties should always consult their State’s Attorney regarding any legal issues or decisions facing their county.
Legal Opinion access is available to the Chair or Chair's designee. Requests for assistance with legal issues or questions must be submitted by the Chair, in writing, to UCCI.
