Environmental Law Criminal Defense

Environmental Crimes and Investigations

Environmental crimes are actions or omissions that violate standards set by local, state, and federal governments to safeguard the environment and protect human health. Environmental crimes may be prosecuted against individuals or corporations that violate federal environmental statues that exist to preserve and regulate clean air, drinking water, use of pesticides, atomic energy, toxic substances, and solid waste disposal. Examples of environmental crimes include ground and air pollution, dumping toxic wastes and polluting waterways
