ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

Frank & Pirok, Ltd. was founded primarily as an Environmental Law Firm, and Environmental Law continues to be a primary field of expertise for the firm, including both litigation and business transactions of every nature in the environmental field.  Environmental Law is one of the fastest-growing and most complex areas of the law.  Federal, State, and Local governments have enacted, and are enacting, a broad range of complex statues aimed at protecting the environment from a variety of toxins and pollutants that are considered significant health hazards.  Our firm is committed to keeping abreast of legislative and scientific developments in this complex and rapidly-changing area of the law so that we may continue to advise our clients on regulatory compliance and to litigation environmental claims.  Our extensive experience in litigation has prepared us well to deal with the complex scientific, health, and legal issues involved in toxic substance and environmental litigation.

SUCCESSFUL REPRESENTATION

A through knowledge of the substantive issues of law and of fact in litigation and in negotiated transactions combined with the practical application of the economic, business, and judicial principles involved in both the courtroom and the conference room are hallmarks of representation by Frank & Pirok, Ltd.  To successfully represent our clients, we have been, and are, able and willing to take any litigated matter to trial and to perform the task necessary to win.  Often, our thorough case preparation and creative defense strategies have enabled us to achieve cost-effective pretrial resolutions of litigated matter.  Our representation of clients on non-litigated matters has always been guided by the possibility of future litigation, making us strive to negotiate agreements which limit the possibility of future litigation as well as the negative costs and effects of litigation when litigation is unavoidable.

Legal representation involves both an emotional and financial commitment on the part of the client to achieve specified objectives.  These objectives and intelligent judgments about case management and resolution can only be realized if the client is fully informed regarding the legal and practical alternatives to specified courses of action.  Consequently, Frank & Pirok, Ltd. consistently makes a concerted effort to keep each client informed of all significant developments and considerations in each matter of representation.  In consultation with a variety of experts in substantive areas, we provide the best possible evaluation of each case in a manner that is both informative and cost-effective.
