Environmental Investigation

For nearly a decade, Padic has provided environmental litigation support nationwide. Previous assignments have included oil exploration fields, producing fields, refineries, mining operations, chemical plants, railroad yards, electronic manufacturing facilities, dry cleaning operations, and disposal sites. During these assignments, we have researched documents from the EPA through small town fire departments, court records at all levels, state environmental agencies, periodicals, API records, television news and film archives, aerial photography, plaintiff company news magazines and newsletters, plus numerous other sources. All the documents have been indexed, copied and shipped to clients in a variety of formats. These documents are frequently copied and maintained as a working set at our facility to assist in our witness location service. (Please refer to the Witness Location and Statements section.)

To facilitate our research, we maintain a variety of national databases in our office, and have access to literally thousands of other databases. Large environmental cases frequently require confidentiality agreements and disclosure protocols. We are glad to work under client agreements, or Padic can provide the agreement format. Example

Following is a partial list of significant sites on which we have been privileged to work:

While initial witness lists are frequently provided by the client, we continually add to the list during our research. Sources include the records generated during the document phase as well as the interviewees themselves. The names are added to our witness database, which is updated daily, to provide our clients the best possible information on the progress of the assignment.
