What is the difference between an environmental consultant and an environmental attorney?
In its simplest terms, a ‘consultant’ can only assist the client in complying with the regulations. However, a ‘consultant’ is not permitted to represent a client to a regulatory agency at any kind of administrative hearing. An ‘environmental attorney’ is not only capable of assisting the client with compliance issues, but the attorney is also able to represent the client’s interests to an administrative hearing.
