Environmental Law Violations

To get a conviction, prosecutors must prove specific acts that violate federal laws

Manufacturers, businesses and even real estate developers may find themselves the target of a criminal investigation if the EPA determines certain regulations and laws were violated.

Typically, criminal charges are brought if state or federal agents believe executives or managers intentionally sought to dispose of toxic materials in violation of EPA regulations or commit other environmental crimes through fraud, intimidation or illegal dumping.

Defendants facing environmental crime charges may obtain a reduced sentence in exchange for testimony against others.

Sometimes, that testimony is not truthful but is given to try to save themselves from prison. As a result, innocent individuals or business professionals may face allegations that are false.

It’s not uncommon for prosecutors to level conspiracy charges in environmental law violations cases
