He serves as the City Attorney for the City of Fairfax, Virginia and in this position oversees the legal representation of all areas of city government, including legal advice and counsel to the city council, city manager, and department heads, community development and planning projects, zoning matters, public works and utility concerns, procurement issues, franchise matters, and personnel and public safety department issues, among other responsibilities. He also supervises the prosecution of misdemeanor and traffic offenses within the City of Fairfax. Mr. Lubkeman previously served as City Attorney for the City of Manassas Park, Virginia and, prior to entering private practice, he was an Assistant Fairfax County Attorney where, among other duties, he served as counsel to the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCHRHA). In that capacity, he provided legal representation with housing-related issues and programs, including discrimination complaints, assisted-housing issues, and lease negotiations.
