When our manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania faced a daunting and multifaceted environmental compliance challenge involving legacy site contamination and potential permitting violations, we turned to Michael Winek at Babst Calland. From our first consultation, it was clear we were dealing with a seasoned professional. Mr. Winek’s deep, 12-year specialization in Environmental Law, particularly his recognized expertise in litigation and the intricacies of Pennsylvania regulations, was immediately evident. He didn't just recite the law; he provided a strategic roadmap that considered both the immediate regulatory pressure and our long-term operational goals. His dual background from Duquesne University, holding both a J.D. and an M.S., brought a valuable technical perspective to the legal analysis. Mr. Winek and his team managed the entire process with exceptional diligence, from navigating complex negotiations with state agencies to preparing for potential litigation. The outcome was a favorable settlement that not only resolved the compliance issues but also established a clear, sustainable path forward for our site operations. His professionalism, calm demeanor under pressure, and ability to translate complex legal concepts into actionable business advice were invaluable. We are profoundly grateful for his exceptional service and highly recommend him for any environmental or oil and gas legal matter.
