Dennis J. Krumholz has been named one of the best environmental lawyers in America for the last 14 years in The Best Lawyers in America®. Chair of Riker Danzig's environmental group, Dennis launched the practice shortly after joining the firm in 1981. In the years since, he has been instrumental in building what has become one of New Jersey's leading environmental law practices. Since 2005, he has been ranked in the first tier of New Jersey's environmental lawyers by Chambers USA: America's Leading Business Lawyers Client's Guide. Chambers has called him a "founding father" of New Jersey Environmental Law with "terrific business and legal judgment." The Guide also described him as "one of the most well-rounded environmental attorneys in New Jersey -- he does everything, and handles all of it equally well," as well has praising him for being a "first-chair litigator of the highest caliber, and a dean of the Environmental bar." Dennis was also named in Who's Who Legal: USA for Environmental Law, compiled by the International Bar Association. Law & Politics magazine has named him one of New Jersey's "Super Lawyers" in environmental litigation and among the top 100 New Jersey lawyers.

Environmental law at Riker involves three areas of practice - litigation, transactions and regulatory compliance - and Dennis is adept at serving clients in all three. "I enjoy trying cases and arguing appeals, as well as drafting and negotiating complex transactional documents and counseling clients on difficult regulatory issues," he says.

He is a prolific author and a frequent speaker on environmental law topics, demonstrating his technical acumen for this complex work. "Writing forces you to develop a deeper understanding of specific issues from a broader, jurisprudential perspective," he says.

Dennis began his career in environmental law as a deputy attorney general for the State of New Jersey in the areas of environmental protection and community affairs.

Dennis' quarter-century career has earned him recognition as one of New Jersey's top environmental lawyers. He places a premium on client service, continuing to be personally attentive to each of his clients. "I strive to be a complete environmental lawyer," he says.
