Ours is a tiny office that delivers big wins for a city on the cutting edge of progressive reform. We are creative problem solvers who work closely with elected officials, transforming lofty ideals into measurable change and enforceable standards. In just the last 12 months, we have prevailed in uncomplicated but meaningful City Court trials, contentious land use disputes, and complex appellate litigation. We recently helped lawmakers revise zoning provisions, voting districts, and tax programs. We also successfully defended our city’s groundbreaking rent stabilization law in the N.Y. Court of Appeals.

We are dedicated to recruiting and retaining the most qualified people for positions in local government. Most jobs in local government fall under the Civil Service system. A "Civil Service" employee can be anyone from a secretary, Police Officer, Fire Fighter, a mechanic or a supervisor for a department. Different jobs have different requirements. Some jobs require that you take an examination to be considered for a permanent job. These are called competitive positions. There are three types of positions that have no examination requirements: Exempt positions are those where the employer decides the qualifications of applicants and chooses the person they want to hire. The process is similar to that found in private industry. Non-competitive positions have specific education and experience requirements that you must meet. Employers choose from among the qualified people who apply. Labor positions have no requirements. Employers may choose anyone for these jobs. If you are interested in a position with the City of Kingston, whether it be a tested or non-tested position, you must complete the Application for Examination and Employment which can be found on our website at
