city or municipal ombudsman's office

A "sindicatura" is the office of the "síndico", a city or municipal official who basically oversees municipal finances and handles legal matters.

Thus, the judge is co-housed at the city or municipal ombudsman's office. The best term I have been able to come up with for "síndico" is "city or municipal ombudsman" in this context; in others it can be translated as "trustee".
