Expert guidance through a complex environmental compliance issue

Our small manufacturing company faced a daunting notice of violation from state regulators regarding potential soil contamination on a property we were looking to acquire. The technical jargon and potential liability were overwhelming. We were referred to Rusty Pomeroy at Gibbons PC. From our first consultation, his command of New York's environmental regulations was evident. He didn't just recite the law; he explained the practical implications and strategic options in clear, actionable terms. Despite his recognition in the field, he was remarkably approachable and took the time to understand our specific business concerns. Rusty meticulously reviewed the Phase I and II reports, identified key data gaps in the agency's initial findings, and crafted a precise, evidence-based response. His negotiation with the regulatory body was firm yet collaborative, ultimately resulting in a favorable resolution that allowed the purchase to proceed with a clear remediation plan, saving us significant potential costs and delays. His one year of focused practice in environmental law clearly translates to deep, practical knowledge. We felt confidently represented every step of the way. His professionalism, responsiveness, and strategic acumen were exactly what we needed.
