About Attorney Awards

Environmental Litigation

Starnes Davis Florie’s Environmental Litigation practice group combines extensive experience with a broad array of skills to assist clients in resolving environmental, health, and safety issues.

Over the years, the lawyers of Starnes Davis Florie have handled the prosecution and defense of CERCLA contribution, cost recovery, and natural resource damage claims; litigation of Clean Water, Clean Air, Oil Pollution, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act claims; litigation of land use and water use issues—including inverse condemnation, eminent domain, boundary disputes, facility siting, water rights, and wetlands protection—and nuisance, trespass, and other common law property damage claims arising from alleged pollution or other causes.  In addition to civil enforcement matters and citizen suits, our lawyers have defended corporations and individuals  accused of environmental crimes such as the illegal disposal or discharge of pollutants and related charges of mail fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy.  The firm’s extensive litigation background, including class action and mass tort experience, lends itself well to finding multi-disciplinary solutions across a wide range of local, state, and federal environmental problems.
