Testimonials
-
As an attorney representing New York’s oldest trap stand club, which is currently developing a sporting clays course, I found Dick Peddicord to be extremely knowledgeable with respect to all of the applicable environmental statues and regulations. Dick demonstrated a deep understanding of the role of an environmental expert to educate and guide counsel through the underlying science and its interplay with all of the regulatory provisions. It was a pleasure to work with Dr. Peddicord.
