Former Corpus Christi city attorney Miles Rizley offers hands-on coastal experience to Port Aransas

Miles Rizley introduced himself to Port Aransas council as a recently retired municipal attorney with decades of coastal experience and emergency-response work.

Rizley said he had served as city attorney for Corpus Christi and other coastal municipalities and cited firsthand involvement in emergency operations during hurricanes and in negotiating FEMA matters. He emphasized his availability and personal handling of client matters: "If you call me, I will answer day or night. It will be me, just me as your available attorney," he said. Rizley told council his local relationships and experience with coastal agencies would help the city navigate intergovernmental issues and disaster-related legal work.

Council members asked about representation of nearby entities and county work; Rizley said he was not currently representing the Port of Corpus Christi, Nueces River Authority or related entities and that his roots in the coastal bend made him familiar with the regional players.
