I handled these types of issues in the General Counsel's office of DEP before going back into private practice at Bryant Miller Olive in Tallahassee. I would be happy to discuss with you and either offer my assistance or help you find the best fit for the representation. Email at clamia@bmolaw.com and we can discuss off line.<br>Chris Lamia
