Dan graduated from New York University School of Law in 1996.  His practice at SPR includes a wide variety of environmental litigation before local, state, and federal courts and administrative bodies, and includes both civil and criminal matters.  He also works with governmental agencies to obtain environmental permits, counsels clients during the preparation of environmental impact statements, and helps clients to ensure compliance with applicable regulations by, among other things, overseeing audits of hazardous waste, water, air, and chemical and petroleum storage programs.  As reflected in the firm’s broad client base, Dan represents state and local governmental bodies, industrial and commercial clients, as well as individuals and local environmental organizations.
