Administrative
We contest unfair dispositions and restore our clients' rights against the state and its administrative agencies.
Administrative dispositions have an immediate and serious impact on an individual's livelihood and daily life. Business suspension, revocation of a permit or license, imposition of penalty surcharges, and sanctions of every kind can in themselves cause harm that is difficult to undo. Disputes against administrative agencies are subject to short filing periods and strict procedural requirements, so nothing matters more than a swift and accurate response as soon as the disposition arrives.
MAST acts across a wide range of administrative disputes—business suspension, revocation of building permits, imposition of penalty surcharges, clawback of medical care benefits, disciplinary action against public officials, bidding and contract award disputes, and restrictions on bidding qualifications. We start with emergency relief, move through administrative appeals and provisional injunction applications such as suspension of execution, and go on to conduct the administrative lawsuit on the merits, closely analyzing the illegality of the disposition, procedural defects, and any deviation from or abuse of discretionary power to restore our clients' rights and interests.
