Environmental Expert Testimony

CEC provides litigation support for individuals and the business community in a full range of environmental and toxic tort situations where the United States government is a not party and does not have a substantial interest.

We provide technical analysis and strategies for case development, including gathering of additional environmental data.  We also provide environmental expert advice and testimony with cases involving adverse human health and ecological effects from a range of toxic chemicals, including pesticides, lead, arsenic, mercury, asbestos, and PCBs.

Depending upon client preferences and particular cases, analyses can be prepared as University of Illinois School of Public Health work products.
