Environmental Law
Today’s present economy demands that
individuals, small businesses, and non-profits consider how they can
contribute to improve the global problem of climate change, energy
conservation, and pollution.
While decades have gone by since governments
have addressed environmental contamination, natural resource and
historic preservation, and preservation of wildlife habitats,
individuals and smaller scale business and local governments have not
needed to address these policies issues as directly as we now see.
Mary Susan Davies brings her experience
formerly as litigator for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department
of Environmental Protection and as the Waste Office Enforcement Manager
for the Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Environmental
Protection to assist businesses and industry with a variety of
