Our team of environmental litigators represents companies and individuals in all forums in which the environment and the law intersect to create disputes. Disputes arise when agencies bring enforcement actions, when property owners claim their property has been contaminated by others or when individuals claim they were exposed to hazardous substances.

Whatever the source of dispute, whether indoors or out, regardless of forum, our environmental trial lawyers represent clients effectively.

Environmental cases require a thorough knowledge of scientific principles and the rules governing the admissibility in court of scientific testimony and evidence. Our environmental trial lawyers apply that knowledge to support admission of scientific evidence and to challenge the admission of unreliable scientific evidence and testimony.

Our cases reflect the wide range of our experience.
