introduction
Charles (Charlie) LeFevere is a shareholder of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered. He practices in the areas of Local Government Law, Land Use, Government Relations and Administrative Law, and Economic Development and Redevelopment Law.
In 1968, Charlie earned a B.A. in English from St. Olaf College. From 1968 to 1972, he served as a line officer in the U.S. Naval Reserve. After being honorably discharged, Charlie enrolled in the University of Minnesota Law School, graduating cum laude in 1975.
Following law school, Charlie joined the firm of LeFevere, Lefler, Kennedy, O Brien & Drawz, and then the predecessor firm to Kennedy & Graven in 1989. He has extensive experience representing public and private clients in a broad range of municipal issues, including planning and zoning, city charters, public improvements and special assessments, open meeting law, employment law, data practices, environmental law, public bidding, municipal litigation, and municipal finance. He is the city attorney for the cities of New Brighton, Brooklyn Center, Rosemount, and Cambridge, and serves as counsel to a number of joint powers organizations, HRAs, EDAs, port authorities, charter commissions, watershed management organizations, and special purpose governmental units. Charlie has been selected by the American Research Corporation for inclusion in the Law & Leading Attorneys Guidebook in the area of federal, state, and local government law.
Among the community service and professional activities in which he has participated, Charlie has served as chair of the Mediation Center Board of Directors and the Minnetonka Board of Zoning Adjustment, and was president of the Brooklyn Center Rotary and the Wayzata Youth Hockey Association. He enjoys hunting, fishing, backpacking, and rehabbing his seventy-five-year-old log cabin.
Charlie has this to say about his work:
- I enjoy the daily contacts with public officials and staff, and share with them a sincere belief in the importance of local government. I feel very fortunate that, after more than twenty years in the practice of public law (and over 1000 council meetings), I still enjoy my work and feel good about what I do.
