Environmental Law

Environmental Law Attorney

Federal, state, and administrative functions protect the air, water, land, and other natural resources. If you are a developer or business owner, you want to make sure that you comply with these often complex rules of law. Often it is difficult for businesses to keep pace with the ever-changing legal developments in environmental law and resource management. With the experienced guidance of Samuel D. Bornstein, P.A., you can be confident that decisions you make regarding the environment comply with the complexities of state, federal, and administrative regulations.

State and federal statutes and administrative regulations are highly complex and require the guidance of an experienced environmental law attorney.

Usually when an environmental agency issues a compliance order to a business, the dispute must be first conducted in a special administrative forum; the traditional court system often lacks jurisdiction for the remedies that characterize ordinary trials. Samuel D. Bornstein, P.A. has handled cases in a variety of forums and can inform business owners on avoiding violation and defending against compliance orders.

Violations carry heavy penalties, including fines and the closure of offending operations. In most cases, violations do not require intent, that is, a business can suffer harsh consequences without intending to violate the law. Even where business operations are conducted in compliance with the law, agency permission may be needed to discontinue some operations or to sell some property.

Our Firm has stayed informed and involved in providing legal assistance in environmental law since Mr. Bornstein served as a Deputy Attorney General prosecuting pollution cases for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. This experience has helped our clients avoid unforeseen risks and enjoy some advantages if it becomes necessary to negotiate or litigate with the several agencies which publish and enforce environmental regulations.
