With three decades of experience spanning the practice of law and the government sector, I represent clients where regulatory issues, business concerns, and legal issues intersect.I work with clients on government affairs, environmental regulations, and permitting. I have secured multiple innovative permits for waterfront, transportation, and industrial projects and have worked on governmental land swaps, significant wetlands issues, and major residential developments. Successfully navigating the Florida 404 wetlands permitting process has been a focus during 2021 and will continue in 2022. I am also experienced with issues falling under the scope of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Clean Water Act (CWA), and Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, also known as Superfund), including state environmental statutory counterparts.
