D. Adele Owen
Attorney
For the majority of more than three decades of civil trial experience in both state and federal courts, Adele’s practice has been almost exclusively focused on complex litigation. An aggressive litigator, Adele’s practice centers on environmental claims seeking damages and remediation arising from pollution caused by oil and gas exploration, production activities, and chemical facility contaminant releases to water, air, and soil.
Her experience includes a well-rounded knowledge of chemistry; scientific and engineering principles; the application of state and federal environmental regulations and statues; oil and gas regulations; environmental and ecological risk assessment and remediation mitigation; hydrology; groundwater contamination; contaminant hydrogeology; and geological, geophysical and lithological sciences involving both chemical facility operations and oilfield operations. Adele advocates fiercely for her clients by working closely with environmental experts, engineers, and regulatory authorities to navigate the technical and legal challenges unique to Legacy cases – all with a focus on providing quality representation.
Adele’s extensive experience as a professional writer involves pre-trial motion practice and hearings; the investigation, preparation and trial of claims; the preparation of expert witnesses for the trial; and subsequent presentation of expert testimony at trial.
