OVERVIEW

Sean Griggs steadfastly defends client interests when environmental issues threaten their business. He takes on tough cases against private parties and government agencies, crafting smart solutions that often protect both the bottom line and day-to-day operations.

What sets Sean apart is his blend of legal know-how and real-world experience. Before law school, Sean worked as a chemical engineer, giving him unique insights into the challenges his clients face. This background helps Sean develop strategies that make sense not just on paper, but in practice.

In court and before agencies, Sean works hard to resolve claims under sundry environmental laws. He tackles everything from complex cleanup disputes to toxic tort lawsuits – all with a sharp eye for detail and efficiency. However, Sean's work isn't all about courtroom battles. He also guides businesses through the maze of environmental regulations, helping them stay compliant and avoid legal headaches down the road.

Clients appreciate Sean's straightforward and candid communication style. He's not afraid to tell it like it is, even if that means advising against a lengthy legal fight when a smarter solution is available. This practical approach to advocacy, combined with his technical background, makes Sean a go-to adviser for complex environmental issues.
