Insightful Counsel, Sustainable Solutions

Solid & Hazardous Waste Attorney in Portland, Oregon

Knowledgeable Representation For Solid And Hazardous Waste Concerns

Operations that involve waste pose a substantial risk for a business or municipality. State and federal laws concerning waste serve key safety and environmental purposes. Failing to follow those laws could mean facing liability for a serious problem – and the government might take a hardline stance against actions that appear to endanger its constituents.


At Law Office of Frank Hammond, I assist clients across industries with unique projects and waste management needs. I take a proactive approach to secure necessary permits and promote government relations to avoid complications. When disputes arise, you can depend on my specific experience in this area to provide a comprehensive defense.

As an attorney with deep familiarity in both government and environmental law, I have worked with clients to achieve compliance for:


  • Opening a new site
  • Expanding existing landfills
  • Constructing transfer stations and facilities
  • Maintaining underground storage tanks
  • Contracting or franchising with local government


My practice offers extensive industry and regulatory knowledge. In addition to developing strategies for environmental compliance, I defend solid waste companies and other clients against enforcement actions from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Large entities throughout the state trust my passionate advocacy against alleged violations and environmental litigation.
