Our company faced a significant challenge when a routine audit revealed potential non-compliance with New Jersey's ISRA regulations at one of our older facilities. The situation was complex, involving both historical operations and planned redevelopment. We engaged Kenneth Hollenbeck based on his firm's strong reputation in environmental law. From our first meeting, it was clear his recognition in this field is well-deserved. He possesses a deep, practical understanding of the regulatory landscape that goes beyond textbook knowledge. Kenneth expertly guided us through the entire process—from interpreting the initial findings and interfacing with the NJDEP to developing a strategic corrective action plan that balanced compliance with our business objectives. His approach to the permitting aspects was particularly thorough, saving us from future headaches. He was always available for strategic discussions, though occasionally our more routine administrative follow-up emails took a day or two for a response, which is a minor note in an otherwise excellent experience. His one year as a partner belies the substantial experience he clearly brings to the table. We successfully resolved the matter efficiently and have retained his services for ongoing compliance monitoring. I would confidently recommend Kenneth to any business navigating environmental law.
