As an environmental lawyer, clients of all sizes, both private businesses & public entities, consult me to understand the myriad of environmental laws that apply to them and how they can comply with those requirements. Environmental laws can often-times be complex and confusing. This is where I can help by translating those requirements into user-friendly, understandable language. In commercial real estate transactions, parties can consult me to help understand the implications of environmental due diligence reports and for assistance in negotiating various environmental protections for the buyer or seller. Businesses also rely on me to serve as a liaison with federal (United States Environmental Protection Agency or EPA), state (Arizona Department of Environmental Quality or ADEQ), and local (counties, cities, & towns) environmental administrative agencies. Due to my extensive experience in municipal law, I can provide particular insight to governmental entities facing environmental issues. Whether it's helping to settle an environmental enforcement action, shaping developing environmental regulations, or securing needed governmental approvals and permits, I help advocate clients' business needs while recognizing the environmental interests of regulators.
