FREDERICK, PERALES, ALLMON & ROCKWELL, PC

We are advocates for the natural environment. We have deep and broad experience with the laws that can safeguard that environment.

The firm represents plaintiffs and protestants with environmental concerns. Over the years, we have done a lot of work related to solid waste, water and air pollution, and endangered species protection. We have fought incompatible land uses. Our loyalties are not divided: we do not argue one day for waivers/variances and the next, for strict enforcement. We understand that all legal fights have a political aspect to them. In a nutshell: we help clients protect their surroundings and wildlife and enjoy a healthy environment, despite the onslaughts of urbanization and modern-day industrialization.
