Orange County Toxic Waste Attorneys
Defense Representation In Environmental Law
Our founder, Trial lawyer Kermit Marsh, has represented the L.A. business community and commercial developers for more than twenty-five years. He has handled environmental contamination as a standalone matter as well as environmental liability in the aftermath of real estate transactions.
We protect commercial entities against civil suits or enforcement actions relating to groundwater contamination, air pollution, chemical spills, underground storage tanks, toxic waste, medical waste, solid waste, and other environmental and public health hazards. We can respond to regulatory actions under CERCLA and RCRA, California Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986), the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Endangered Species Act, and other state and federal legislation.
Intervention, Negotiation And Litigation
Mr. Marsh has advocated for businesses and property owners facing sanctions by the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He has represented government contractors before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals. In another case we demonstrated that the federal government was responsible for environmental contamination of a neighboring property.
Our goal is to shield clients from unwarranted or excessive judgments for clean-up of toxic sites. Environmental agencies are not as quick to sue property owners as they once were. Our proactive approach often heads off enforcement actions, or it allows us to negotiate a reasonable solution with regulators, governmental entities or adjacent owners. When necessary, Kermit Marsh with his team of attorneys, is an effective litigator who can capably represent clients in Superior Courts, U.S. District Court, administrative law forums or appellate proceedings.
