Allegheny Township appoints Brian Farrington of Charlton Law as township solicitor through 2026
Summary
At a June 24, 2026 meeting, the Allegheny Township Board of Supervisors voted to appoint Brian Farrington, Esq. of Charlton Law to serve as township solicitor for the remainder of 2026; the board said the change reflects growing legal needs and the firm will serve without a retainer.
The Allegheny Township Board of Supervisors voted on June 24, 2026, to appoint Brian Farrington, Esq., of Charlton Law as the township solicitor for the remainder of 2026. Supervisor Frank Weissert moved the appointment, Supervisor Jeff Pollick seconded, and the motion carried; the transcript records the action as "motion carried" but does not provide a roll-call tally.
Chairman Jamie Morabito said the decision to change solicitors was driven by the township’s "increasing needs," and the board concluded that a larger firm would be better positioned to meet those needs. Vice Chair Jeff Pollick said the board seeks to act in the township’s best interest. Supervisor Weissert added that the new solicitor will be retained with no retainer fee and that Farrington has greater experience with the township’s needs at this time.
The appointment was listed on the agenda as a discussion item and was moved to a formal action during the meeting. The meeting commenced at 2:00 p.m. and adjourned at 2:12 p.m. The transcript does not record further contractual details, fee schedules beyond the supervisors’ statement that no retainer will be required, or a scheduled start date; the solicitor is appointed to serve "for the remainder of 2026," per the motion.
