Environmental & Toxic Tort

The environmental and toxic tort group has successfully defended both individual and multi-plaintiff claims in a wide variety of contexts, including litigation involving alleged chemical exposures, soil and groundwater contamination, and regulatory violations.  Our expertise in this area is broad and includes the defense of claims involving arsenic, asbestos, electromagnetic radiation, formaldehyde, herbicides, lead, pesticides, silica, termiticides, and a multitude of other chemical and biological substances.  We have routinely defeated attempts at class certification of toxic exposure claims and have succeeded in excluding junk science from the courtroom on both a state and federal level.
