Toxic Torts & Environmental Law
Attorneys With Hands-On Experience in Environmental Litigation
Environmental matters touch the lives of everyone from homeowners and parents to city governments and major multinational corporations. The state and federal regulations governing these matters can be complex. From offices in Malta and Glens Falls, the Upstate New York law firm of Poklemba & Hobbs represents plaintiffs (and some defendants) in a wide range of environmental law matters and toxic tort claims.
Our clients are individuals, families, companies and municipalities that need sound legal counsel and aggressive representation in order to recover damages, obtain financial compensation for cleanup costs or to address complex matters of liability. Typical clients include:
- Families who have been harmed by toxic fumes or contaminated water
- Parents whose children have suffered brain damage and cognitive impairment due to chemical exposure
- Individuals whose property or water system has been contaminated by toxic waste or industrial or agricultural runoff
- Homeowners facing substantial state-imposed costs to clean up contaminated property
We also represent corporate and municipal entities in liability and environmental remediation claims, as well as clients involved in CERCLA/Superfund claims and litigation. Our attorneys have substantial experience in the negotiation, arbitration and litigation of environmental claims and have a record of success in toxic tort claims against some of the world's largest multinational corporations and petrochemical industry giants.
The Value of Experience and a Broad-Based Legal Practice
Hands-on experience in environmental law and toxic tort litigation is relatively rare. Poklemba & Hobbs is one of the only firms in Upstate New York that maintains a specific practice in this complex area of law. Our clients benefit not only from our thorough understanding of the law and record of success in litigation, but also from our firm's ability to seek real solutions to environmental issues through administrative, regulatory or legislative means at the state and federal level.
