The Client:
The United States of America - Department of Justice and U.S. Navy.
The Situation:
Environmental groups throughout the country were filing numerous high visibility claims against the Department of Justice and United States Navy.
The Chartwell Solution:
In his role as a Navy Reservist and Captain in the Judge Advocate General's Corps, Chartwell attorney Stephen J. Fireoved led a team of environmental lawyers in support of the government. Faced with extraordinary discovery demands and tight time contstraints, Mr. Fireoved's team reviewed more than 72,000 documents and 475,000 pages, permitting the government to meet the discovery deadlines without delay. Through the exemplary efforts of Mr. Fireoved's team, the Federal Goverment was able to save over $1.5 million in attorney's fees. Mr. Fireoved's hard work, dedication and commitment were subsequently recognized by the General Counsel of the Department of the Navy when he was awarded a special letter of appreciation.
