NOTICE OF TEMPORARY PARTIAL BUSINESS CLOSURE

Due to an ongoing medical situation affecting our office, Environmental and Animal Defense will be temporarily reducing its business operations effective October 18, 2026, and until further notice.

During this period, certain services and business activities will be suspended or significantly limited. Our ability to respond to communications, accept new matters, and conduct routine business operations may also be affected.

We remain committed to addressing existing obligations and facilitating appropriate arrangements for matters affected by this temporary reduction in operations.

You may submit a contact request form, but should not expect any response until normal operations resume. 

We appreciate your patience, understanding, and respect for our privacy during this difficult time.

Ready to get some answers?

Fill out our contact form below and a member of our staff will reach out to you as soon as possible.

We encourage prospective new clients to have patience when first contacting our organization as the first person you hear from will likely be a staff attorney. It is not uncommon for our initial response time to be 72 hours or longer depending on our existing client obligations. 

The intake call is complementary and we will assess whether your case is appropriate for a consultation. Absent demonstrated financial hardship, consultations cost $140 and are payable online. Consultations include our firm researching and analyzing your issue and discussing your potential options with you over a consultation phone call. You can read more about our pricing options here.

We prioritize reducing costs to keep our rates low. We offer phone consultations, and offer phone and virtual client meetings outside of court appearances. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with our commitment to keep costs low to enable us to provide services to lower income individuals.
