For the month of March, I am going to highlight blogs that I think are interesting and useful. Some may not be directly related to personal injury or Social Security disability law, but all of us who represent injured and disabled people occasionally need help in other areas. A few have been featured here before, but they keep getting better. Today's entry in March of the Blogs:
Walter James is an environmental law attorney in the Dallas -Fort Worth area. Walt writes the intriguingly-named Environmental Crimes blog, which covers issues related to all aspects of environmental law. Walt is a delightful gentleman, and he manages to let his personality come through in his blog, even though much of his readership is the boring, corporate-law type. Check it out – you might be surprised how interesting environmental law can be.
Here is Walt's biography, from his Web site:
Walt’s interest in the environment began when he was a teenager
touring the national parks west of the Mississippi river on an extended
family vacation. His interest in the law may be genetic, as his father
and grandfather practiced law. Walt graduated from the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln College of Law in 1987. After law school, Walt moved
to Dallas, Texas and focused his practice on environmental law. Since
starting his legal career, Walt has worked in private sector
representing a variety of regulated entities covering a variety of
environmental legal issues. After 17 years with large law firms, with
the positive input and support of a group of outstanding clients, Walt
founded Walter D. James III, PLLC in March 2004.
Walter D. James III has been involved in environmental issues since
1987. Walt and those he selects to associate with, have unique legal
and technical/educational backgrounds that allow Walter D. James III,
PLLC to provide legal services on any type of environmental issue. From
representation of a small scrap dealer in Dallas on industrial waste
management practices to representation of multi-national corporations
on Superfund and remediation issues, there is a substantial breadth of
expertise available to clients of the Firm.
Walter D. James III, PLLC focuses its practice on civil and criminal
enforcement, administrative, remediation and cost allocation/recovery
and group representation aspects of environmental law. Our experience
in working with environmental consultants on development of allocation
approaches and settlement of large, complex environmental litigation
has been of special benefit to our clients. We accept Federal and State
court litigation matters focused on environmental and natural resource
law (including all aspects of discovery, motion and trial practice).
We have found that our expertise in the technical aspects of
environmental law will result in measurable cost-savings for the
clients we represent. Many times, we are asked to work closely with
some of the finest environmental consulting firms in the United States.
Our ability to work with the in-house and outside technical expertise a
given client has available often results in a more efficient resolution
to a dispute than the client may have experienced previously. We do not
try to serve the role of environmental consultant, but our technical
understanding of an environmental issue is generally well-received by
the environmental consultants we work with. Our goal is to form a team
consisting of the in-house legal and technical expertise supported by
Walter D. James III, PLLC and outside environmental consultants.
We are a small law firm by choice, with big-firm experience and capabilities.
