Environmental Crimes

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality both have broad authority to investigate, enforce, and prosecute violations of federal and state environmental protection laws. They do so through regulatory enforcement actions, civil lawsuits, and criminal prosecution.

The attorneys at Kauffman Kilberg LLC have experience defending individuals and corporations in investigations and prosecutions involving alleged environmental crimes, including Clean Air Act violations, Clean Water Act violations, environmental testimony and compliance investigations, permit violations, hazardous waste management and toxic waste dumping.
