Environmental Crimes

Environmental crime charges are serious allegations that can lead to substantial fines, criminal penalties, and long-term consequences for your life or business. At Ace Law, attorney Kevin Acevedo provides strong, strategic defense for individuals, contractors, and companies accused of violating state or federal environmental protection laws.

Environmental violations can involve anything from improper waste disposal and water contamination to illegal dumping, hazardous material mishandling, or permit-related issues. In many cases, these allegations arise from administrative mistakes, misunderstandings during inspections, or complex regulatory requirements that are easy to misinterpret.

Attorney Kevin Acevedo carefully reviews every piece of evidence, challenges government procedures when necessary, and protects your rights from the moment you are accused.
