"Clean Water Act 'Ambulance Chasers'? Firm Raises Eyebrows" [1]

"The Trump administration is taking rare action against a Pennsylvania law firm for filing Clean Water Act citizen suits.

The Department of Justice filed statements last week in three ongoing lawsuits brought by Brodsky & Smith LLC against California companies alleging violations of stormwater discharge limits.

DOJ raised concerns not only about the suits and proposed settlement agreements, which include unusual payments to the plaintiffs, but also about the volume of Clean Water Act litigation that Brodsky & Smith has brought in the past two years."
