Experienced And Insightful Environmental Lawyer

At Wolford Law, I have been representing individuals and corporations on environmental matters for over 20 years.  Since transitioning from government work to private practice in 1999, I have honed my skills to ensure that my clients are receiving the best service I can provide.

As a former environmental crimes prosecutor, government attorney, and Regional Counsel for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), my knowledge of Pennsylvania environmental law is informed from working on both sides of the law, and I draw from that experience to optimize my work on behalf of clients.

A History Of Environmental Law Representation

Wolford Law Firm was established in 1999 and specializes in environmental and energy law. My office handles all forms of litigation, primarily actions/appeals before State and Federal courts and the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board.  I serve a diverse array of clients in northwestern Pennsylvania across the entire spectrum of environmental law, relying on my career of experience gained working for the DEP as a staff attorney and Regional Counsel of the DEP’s Northwest Regional Office; the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General as an Environmental Crimes Section prosecutor and Torts Litigation attorney; and as Special Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

Using my knowledge gained as a government environmental lawyer in the very location where I now practice, I have a deep understanding of environmental laws and regulations as well as policies behind these regulations. With that, I can provide my clients with an insightful legal strategy that accomplishes short- and long-term goals, as needed.

  • Air Quality
  • Water Quality
  • Sewage Facilities
  • Safe Drinking Water / Public Water Supplies
  • Waste Management
  • Hazardous Sites Cleanup
