Q: Would you look for a "local guy" who may have dealt with these guys before or one a couple of towns over, relatively unknown?
A: Local.
Q: What area of law would this be?
A: Municipal law.
Also, be prepared to pay a huge sum up front to the lawyer since this sounds like a "it's the principle of the thing" case. Legal malpractice insurers caution their insureds (i.e., lawyers) to avoid such cases.

I was worried about that myself. I would think its clear-cut but I'm not a lawyer. A few details,
In 1995, our town amended the Resident Only Parking ordinance to include our block and several others. We were designated 24 hrs a day, seven days a week. About 10 years ago, the signs on our block came down, ONLY on our block. I wasn't living at home at the time but my parents said something about business complaining. We live 1 block from a NJ Transit Train Station. One of NJ Transit's specially designated "Transit Villages". Lots and lots of train/bus commuters.
Two months ago, while researching the resident parking ordinance I discovered that our block is still part of the Resident Only Parking ordinance, 24 hrs and day, 7 days a week. Seems DPW improperly removed those signs 10 years ago. DPW refuses to discuss it with me. I wrote a letter to the councilman that oversees DPW but have not received a response.
DPW seems to ignore town ordinances and make up the rules as they go along. Late last week they put up "8 to 5 Monday thru Friday" Resident Only Parking signs. I'd have no problem with that except I would think that in order to enforce a parking ticket the signs would have to match the ordinance. I would think the ordinance has to change or the signs have to change.
I can't help but think the same DPW that improperly took down those signs (for whatever reason) is now resisting replacing those signs (for the same reason).

And what are YOUR damages?

Damages? I don't want anything more than all the other resident parking streets in town have, I simply want the "resident only parking" that was denied us for 10 years.

No damages, no case.
