The Dobson Law Firm strives to help its clients achieve full compliance with all environmental laws and regulations in the most cost-effective manner possible. The firm recognizes that taking simple, proactive measures to identify and correct potential regulatory problems now can prevent more costly lawsuits and enforcement actions later.

With years of experience representing clients in quasi-judicial proceedings before a variety of federal and state agencies, the Dobson Law Firm can help negotiate favorable settlements in agency enforcement actions and find practical, low-cost solutions to environmental compliance issues.

The firm is particularly adept at navigating complex webs of agency regulations, rulemakings, and guidance documents and synthesizing the information into easy to comprehend formats.


Examples of environmental legal services include:
  • Providing confidential environmental audit programs to identify and correct regulatory compliance problems before agency enforcement actions are commenced.

  • Helping achieve Endangered Species Act compliance for utilities, local governments, and businesses in federal licensing and permitting proceedings.

  • Evaluating appropriate scope of NEPA reviews in federally permitted and funded projects.
  • Working with environmental consulting firms in obtaining discharge permits and drafting spill prevention, storm water control, and emergency response plans.

  • Preparing formal comments to federal and state agencies for businesses, industry groups, and non-profit organizations in environmental rulemaking proceedings.
