Environmental Law

Texas Environmental Law Attorneys

At Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels & Friend we take representing clients who have been injured due to violations of environmental laws seriously. The state and federal government have enacted many laws to protect individuals and the environment from the devastating effects of pollution, including the Clean Water and Clean Air acts. However, enforcement is often lax and damage often occurs before agencies charged with enforcements discover violations.

Experienced Lawyers Handling Environmental Law Matters

Many industries in Texas such as the petrochemical industry, refineries, as well as farmers and ranchers knowingly violate environmental laws, placing the health of the environment and people at risk. These violations include illegally dumping releasing toxic byproducts into waterways, emitting toxic waste from smoke stacks, and improperly disposing of livestock waste and the byproducts of slaughter.

Our Texas environmental law attorneys have extensive experience investigating the cause of illnesses that result from environmental pollution and tracing them back to their cause. Some of the common injures and illnesses associated with environmental contamination include dermatological problems, respiratory problems, and cancer. In addition, environmental pollution often causes serious property damage and contaminates local water supplies.
