Environmental Torts

Georgia Environmental Attorneys

In the Atlanta area and beyond, some developers have caused significant environmental damage by poor grading practices. The removal of the lush natural vegetation of our area and its replacement by hard surfaces and structures further causes excess storm runoff. This can lead to significant soil erosions and deposits, the silting of streams and lakes, and other environmental damage which can reduce the value of both undeveloped and developed property.

Andrews, Knowles & Princenthal are experienced environmental attorneys. We take action on behalf of clients in cases where the negligence of a developer or some other party threatens the value of the property of our clients.

We represent property owners who have suffered financial loss due to:

• Storm runoff and silt buildup caused by poor grading
• Soil erosion and deposits
• Water pollution
• Chemical spills
• Environmental contamination
• Toxic torts

At Andrews, Knowles & Princenthal we have obtained numerous settlements and verdicts on behalf of Georgia property owners who have suffered financial loss due to storm runoff and silt buildup. These take the form of financial compensation or environmental remediation to reverse the damage.
