Environmental Law
I have had the privilege of working through varying complex environmental regulatory issues with HJ. The HJ team works diligently to find the best solution for the facility, that also provides the most operating flexibility. The HJ team is very detail oriented, extremely professional, and are experts in their respective fields of expertise. Whichever situation I find myself in, I have confidence in knowing I can reach out to the HJ group to assist.
