Invaluable Guidance Through a Complex Environmental Compliance Issue

Our company faced a daunting and time-sensitive environmental compliance challenge with a state regulatory agency. The potential penalties and operational delays were significant. We were referred to Brenda Clayton at Kelly Hart & Hallman, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first meeting, Brenda’s deep, 13-year foundation in Environmental and Oil & Gas Law was immediately apparent. She didn't just recite statutes; she explained the practical regulatory landscape in Texas with clarity, mapping out a strategic path forward. Her recognition in these specific fields, which we noted in our research, was fully earned. Brenda and her team meticulously prepared our case, anticipating the agency's concerns and crafting responses that were both technically sound and strategically persuasive. Her background in Administrative Law proved critical in navigating the procedural intricacies. The result was a favorable resolution that avoided costly fines and allowed our operations to continue without disruption. Brenda is the epitome of a trusted advisor—exceptionally knowledgeable, thoroughly professional, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome for her client. We cannot recommend her highly enough for any complex environmental or regulatory matter in the Fort Worth region.
