There’s no substitute for experience in the legal field. That’s especially true for environmental law, a complicated field that grows more complicated every day. Joel Waltzer and Robert Wiygul started their environmental law careers working for two of the most respected organizations in public interest environmental law – the Tulane Environmental Law Clinic, and the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund.
For over 20 years, the attorneys at Waltzer & Wiygul have represented citizens, landowners, and conservation groups in every aspect of protecting public health and the environment. We have litigated hundreds of cases under all of the major state and federal environmental laws. We’ve made corporate polluters clean up their act, made government agencies obey the law, even helped one entire community move out of harm’s way. Our environmental law expertise includes:
Toxic Torts
Clean Water Act
Endangered Species Act
Fisheries Law
Public Lands Management
National Environmental Policy Act
WWG is representing landowners in the Bay Springs oil spill, in which thousands of gallons of crude leaked from a crude oil pipeline, contaminating a beautiful bottomland hardwood swamp.
