Environmental Law

The environmental law practice is rapidly changing as legal requirements for the protection of state and local natural resources change. The Carver Law Firm will work tirelessly with you on environmental issues, whether regulatory or litigation.  Prior to becoming an attorney, Dr. Carver was a practicing chemist for over 20 years.  

Our practice includes air, water, solid waste, sewerage treatment, hazardous waste, USTs, wetlands and coastal restoration matters. From negotiating contracts to attaining regulatory compliance to prosecuting and defending major toxic tort lawsuits, we bring a common sense solution to both technical and legal problems in these areas.

The Carver Law Firm offers a full range of environmental legal services to individuals, businesses, industries, and government. Dr. Carver has over thirty years of experience practicing in this area of law. Further, because of his extensive background as a practicing chemist, he adds a depth of technical knowledge not often found among lawyers. He integrates his scientific knowledge and experience with his understanding of the regulatory and legal aspects of environmental law to reach creative and effective resolutions.

Dr. Carver has represented government, industry and individuals on environmental matters, both as plaintiffs and defendants. He focuses on understanding the needs of clients and advises them on compliance for both existing and new regulations and laws. His experience in handling matters from different perspectives positions him to effectively represent clients on both regulatory and litigation actions.
