The environmental landscape of the western United States underwent profound
changes in the latter part of the twentieth century. Environmental interests
successfully sought to be heard as difficult policy and legal decisions
were made over natural resources.
Disputes between states over the apportionment of interstate waters
became increasingly pronounced. Environmental concerns, Native-American
claims, and Endangered Species Act claims came to the forefront as the
drought that afflicted much of the western United States brought challenges
over scarce water resources into high relief.

These complex problems will continue into the future. They will require
creative and innovative solutions. The firm of Abramowitz & Franks offers a unique mix of litigation experience, extensive historical
and technical backgrounds, and familiarity with natural resource policy
and management that allows us to address these complex legal and policy
problems.
We provide excellent, imaginative and effective legal services, and
we do so in a manner that is cost-effective and efficient.
