Health Law

• Personal Injury
  Contamination of real property can occur from any of numerous commercial, industrial or agricultural sources, including gasoline service stations, dry cleaners, chemical or pesticide storage, and manufacturing operations.  The contamination can impact both soil and groundwater, and can lead to liability for potentially catastrophic cleanup costs, or even toxic tort lawsuits for personal injury or diminution in property values, associated with the contamination.

Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  Daehnke Cruz Law Group is in a unique position to work well with other law firms. The Firm's partners have often been called upon to act as environmental "troubleshooters" for matters throughout California, even for those firms with an existing environmental law practice. The Firm's attorneys work well with business and real estate attorneys, tax and estate planning attorneys, and litigation firms. And, based on the integrity of the partners, as well as the Firm's highly specialized practice, other law firms can rest assured that the Firm can assist with a complex or highly specialized Brownfield or other contaminated property environmental law matter, without any risk of client defection for the referring law firm. Also, for those firms with little or no environmental expertise, Daehnke Cruz Law Group can serve as the referring firm's environmental law department. By working in tandem with Daehnke Cruz Law Group, a referring law firm can bring sophisticated environmental law expertise to any matter, while securing for itself the non-environmental portion of the legal work.
• Trusts
  At Daehnke Cruz, we are working closely with business and estate succession professionals, including trusts and estates lawyers, accountants, trustees, wealth managers and financial planners, to make certain that succession planning includes advice about the potentially catastrophic consequences of passing contaminated sites at death. When a contaminated property is passed at death (known as "toxic succession"), the environmental cleanup liabilities are passed to the heirs, business partners, or other beneficiaries who acquire title to that property.  Because of this, the same property or business that was intended as a valuable inheritance or endowment can result in a costly, challenging environmental disaster. Failing to counsel high net worth families and businesses on these toxic succession dangers can lead to serious financial issues for the client's assets and estate.
