The attorneys and investigators of Flannery Georgalis, LLC have decades of experience handling complex environmental matters involving water and air pollution, solid and hazardous waste violations, and the destruction and theft of natural resources.
As former federal and state prosecutors, federal agents, and seasoned defense attorneys, Flannery Georgalis, LLC are trusted to handle the most sensitive and complex environmental issues.
Our Team has represented environmental agencies, such as the U.S. and Ohio Environmental Protection Agencies and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, in both federal and state litigation and defended companies against those very agencies in high stakes litigation. Some examples of this experience include:
- Coordinating defense of a global manufacturer in the oil/gas sector in litigation brought by an insurance carrier seeking indemnification for payments made arising out of a large environmental catastrophe.
- Successfully defending individual and corporate defendants in criminal environmental investigations and prosecutions. We have convinced federal and state prosecutors to reduce, dismiss or decline to bring charges and negotiated plea agreements that minimized regulatory and business consequences.
- Conducting sensitive internal investigations into suspected environmental violations to determine the risk of civil, criminal, and regulatory exposure and mitigate adverse consequences to licensure, business operations, and financial damages.
