Environmental Crimes Defense
Is your business under investigation for a state or federal environmental crime? You may face extensive fines and penalties that could endanger your business' daily operations. Furthermore, a criminal case could impact your business' reputation. Our Pennsylvania environmental crimes defense attorneys fight to dismiss the charges or reduce the impact of a conviction. If your case goes to jury, we have the experience you need for a fair fight; our founding attorney, Dennis Boyle, has more than 150 jury trials to his credit.
We also defend individuals facing environmental crime charges. We will immediately dissect the allegations against you and hire environmental experts to tell your side of the story.
Environmental Tort Claims
We represent consumers, homeowners and farmers who have been injured by toxic chemicals in the soil or groundwater. In central Pennsylvania, industry, farming, mining and residential land uses change over time, sometimes leading to contamination by toxins in the soil or an aquifer. If you suspect that dangerous chemicals are harming your family or your farm, contact a Harrisburg or Philadelphia environmental litigation attorney at Boyle, Autry & Murphy for a free consultation about your environmental tort claims.
In some cases, where industrial solvents or petrochemicals have leaked into the soil over years from obsolete or abandoned underground storage tanks, the responsible party might have sold the land long ago. We can go back in the chain of title owners to identify the responsible parties or even find effective insurance coverage that can compensate you for damage to your health, your livestock or to the value of your land.
