Environment

Environmental laws have been put into place by State and Federal ruling and are enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Backed by these laws, individuals or groups can bring attention to environmental problems or violations and take action with the help of lawyers.

Environmental lawyers can evaluate cases involving pollution, chemical spills, toxic waste dumping, wetland destruction, land development, solid waste, natural resource usage, wildlife protection and Indian Rights. Some chemical and environmental hazards can lead to serious consumer illnesses and cancers.
