The Milwaukee City Attorney s Office will have help from an outside law firm to represent the city in its ongoing legal entanglements with ousted Police Chief Alfonso Morales, under a measure approved by the Common Council Tuesday.
The resolution allows the City Attorney s Office to hire Milwaukee-based Cade Law Group LLC at a rate of $350 per hour for the services of attorney Nate Cade and $325 per hour for the services of attorney Carlos Pastrana.
The agreement ends Dec. 31 and includes a cap of $40,000 for the law firm s services, unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
Ald. Michael Murphy voted against the resolution.
Morales’ attorney,
William Davidson Monday morning to discuss next steps.
“Quite frankly, the sense that I had, is that (the city) does not want him back as chief, but we are not anywhere near the kind of conversation, with effect to the economics of a potential deal to make the meeting worth continuing,” Gimbel said.
The city’s Fire and Police Commission voted unanimously to demote Morales to the rank of captain, with commissioners leveling several criticisms about Morales, including situations involving Black residents. Morales subsequently retired, sued and requested a judicial review of the decision.
In his ruling Friday, Foley said the entire process was flawed, mentioning the fact that Morales was not allowed to speak during the meeting.
