"The DEP does not generally enforce Direct Exposure-based SCTLs when a pesticide is present as a result of proper use of a product. The Leachability-based SCTLs may be enforceable if dumping, spilling, or misapplying a pesticide can be linked to groundwater contamination.”

RyanLaw was one of only two law firms in Orlando, nine firms with offices located in Florida, and Forty one law firms nationally to receive First-Tier rankings for Litigation-Environmental.  RyanLaw was awarded a First-Tier ranking on both the National and Orlando Metropolitan lists.  RyanLaw’s “high ranking is a special distinction that signals a unique combination of excellence and breadth of expertise.” U.S. News Media Group and Best Lawyers® Release, Washington D.C. –November 1, 2011.

The U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” rankings provide a view of the U.S. legal profession that is unprecedented both in the range of firms represented and in the range of qualitative and quantitative data used to develop the rankings.  The rigorous evaluation process included the collection of client and attorney evaluations, including peer review from leading attorneys in their practice area.   The rankings incorporated nearly 4 million evaluations collected by Best Lawyers in its most recent annual survey.   All of the quantitative and qualitative data was combined into an overall “Best Law Firms” score for each firm.  This data was then compared to other law firms within the same metropolitan area and at the national level.  The First-Tier includes those law firms that scored within a certain percentage of the highest scoring law firms across the nation.    “By combining hard data with peer reviews, and client assessments, we continue to believe we are providing clients with the most thorough, accurate, and helpful rankings of law firms ever developed.”  Steven Naifeh, President of Best Lawyers.
