Baton Rouge Louisiana Environmental Crimes Attorney Lake Charles Improper Storage Lawyer EPA DEQ

Baton Rouge, Louisiana ● Environmental Crimes Attorney

Corporations and small businesses in Louisiana are often cited by federal and state agencies for alleged environmental abuses. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) are using criminal charges to force compliance with overly restrictive environmental regulations. No one blinks when an executive of a multi-national corporation like Exxon or CITGO is accused of improper cleanup, but more often it is family owned businesses, small Louisiana corporations, and even homeowners who need an effective environmental defense lawyer. At Rothkamm Law Firm, we defend Texas and Louisiana business and homeowners against state and federal environmental criminal charges.
