  Nationally and regionally recognized as a top-tier environmental attorney, Dan DeWitt focuses his practice on advising Michigan-based clients of all sizes but also handles national issues for large global corporations. While Dan brings extensive experience and a broad and deep knowledge base in counseling clients on an array of matters, he places a special emphasis on hazardous waste regulatory issues, contaminated site cleanup and environmental compliance auditing.Dan is highly regarded for his mastery of one of the most difficult and byzantine areas of environmental law — the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act — which authorizes the EPA to control hazardous waste “from cradle to grave.” The law often carries critical ramifications on the operations of the many businesses Dan advises, including those in the chemical, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries. Unlike most regulatory attorneys who don’t understand the many nuances of the law, Dan sees both the big-picture calculus and the numerous individual angles of RCRA and knows it better than just about anyone. He has spent 25 years counseling clients on all aspects of it.With the ability to speak the same language as scientists, geologists and engineers, Dan works closely with teams of professionals on a range of mitigation efforts, including RCRA-corrective actions. He often plays a pivotal role on the legal front in cleaning up contaminated sites and ensuring the public stays safe and protected from toxic exposure.
