Environmental Litigation Attorney Serving California, Tennessee & Beyond

When the stakes involve contamination, regulation, or chemical exposure, you need more than a generalist. You need an environmental litigation attorney in Tennessee who knows the science, the statutes, and the strategy. With more than 40 years of litigation experience and a deep background in toxic tort and environmental law, we represent clients facing high-stakes environmental disputes across Tennessee and California—including failure to supply enough water to customers, contaminated water lawsuits and all types of environmental claims including, Prop 65, as well as hazardous substance litigation.

Toxic Exposure Is Complicated. So Is the Law.

Environmental litigation covers a wide field—from holding polluters accountable to defending businesses caught in regulatory crosshairs. We represent companies, individuals, and property owners in complex cases involving chemical spills, groundwater contamination, hazardous waste, land use, and compliance issues with both federal and state environmental agencies. Whether you’re dealing with the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC) or facing a Prop 65 enforcement action out of California, we bring decades of courtroom and settlement experience to your case.

Decades of Toxic Tort Experience Across State Lines

Toxic torts involve harm caused by exposure to dangerous substances—whether through contaminated drinking water, airborne pollutants, or hazardous materials in the workplace or environment. These cases are fact-intensive, expert-driven, and often hinge on the strength of your science. We’ve handled more than 25 toxic tort cases over the past decade alone, from major water contamination disputes to chemical exposure claims involving industrial solvents, asbestos, and carcinogens.

A Track Record That Holds Up Under Pressure

Not every lawyer has recovered $95 million in an environmental action—but we have. That case, brought against the State of California and Aerojet, speaks to the scale and complexity of matters we handle. We've defended dozens of health-related claims tied to environmental hazards and successfully navigated cases involving Proposition 65 enforcement, often under intense scrutiny from both regulators and the media.

Compliance Isn’t Optional. But It Doesn’t Have to Be Overwhelming.

Environmental law is governed by layers of regulation—federal rules from the EPA, state-level compliance (like TDEC in Tennessee), and local ordinances. In California, Proposition 65, for example, adds another layer of complexity for businesses. We know how to work across agencies, secure permits, and challenge enforcement actions that overreach. Our clients rely on us to translate regulations into a clear plan of action, whether that means settlement, remediation, or litigation.
