Case Studies

Peter Brooke

When Mr Brooke was being pursued by the Environment Agency over a ‘consent to discharge’, he knew he needed a solicitor that specialised in environmental issues.

That was where Dyne Solicitors came in. Despite the Environment Agency having pursued Mr Brooke for three years before Dyne Solicitors became involved, the solicitors were able to use their specialist knowledge of environmental law to get the case dropped.

“Kathryn Lucas, Associate Solicitor at Dyne Solicitors, really understands environmental law and the way the Environment Agency conducts its business,” says Mr Brooke. “Having the specialist knowledge of how the Agency operates makes a big difference.

“They didn’t listen to me for three years. The key to the whole thing was that Kathryn understood how the Environment Agency operates. Unless you know how the Agency conducts its work, it is very hard to explain your case to them.”

Other people in his village are now facing the same problem. Mr Brooke would absolutely recommend Dyne Solicitors to them and anybody else in a similar position.

“They provide a good service, and are open and realistic. Kathryn always kept me in the loop, so I knew what was happening next and what the costs would be.”
