Transportation & Public Authorities Disputes in Troy, MI

The attorneys at August Law have been representing transportation and public authorities for decades. This is a unique area of the law, and specialized practice in this area is must for clients seeking lawyers on such claims. Gary August represented the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) for over two decades. In that time, he handled all aspects of matters ranging from personal injuries to contract disputes, to grant agreements, to statutory interpretation, to advertising, and to funding.

He was also counsel for Northwest Airlines, not only on construction matters, but on corporate and liability matters unique to transportation as well. After Northwest’s bankruptcy and ultimately its merger with Delta Air Lines, Mr. August represented the Wayne County Airport Authority itself on multiple matters, including construction issues, contracting issues, and contentious and public litigation brought by disabled users of the airport and a bus company claiming rights to preferred pick-up and drop-off locations at the airport.

Mr. August defeated these claims, made new law under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and defended his victory in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in a published decision. These are just some examples of August Law’s expertise in this area.
