About the Cambridge Law Department
Welcome to the Cambridge Law Department, located at 795 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139. As a vital part of the local government, our department is dedicated to providing comprehensive legal representation and advice to the City of Cambridge and its officials. Our experienced legal team is adept in various areas of law, including zoning, environmental, employment, civil rights, contracts, tax, real estate, and torts involving personal injury and property damage claims.
Our responsibilities extend beyond legal representation; we actively participate in City Council meetings, sub-committees, and provide guidance to City boards and commissions. We are also involved in drafting ordinances and legal documents, offering numerous verbal and written opinions to the City Manager, Mayor, City Council, and Department Heads.
For filing claims, please contact the City Clerk’s Office by sending a written letter or email to Diane P. LeBlanc at [email protected]. Include your name, address, phone number, the date, time, and exact location of the incident, along with a description. Additional documentation such as photographs and repair estimates can be included. Note that street and sidewalk defect claims must be filed within 30 days, while other claims generally have a 2-year filing period.
For legal referrals, please contact:

Please be aware that the Cambridge Law Department does not provide legal interpretations and recommends consulting a private attorney for personal legal matters. As a governmental entity, we adhere to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, ensuring transparency and accessibility to records made or received by the City.
