Background

About Keith Zahniser

Who I help:• Are you an environmental attorney whose client is an industry or successor in interest to an industry involved in environmental cleanup litigation such as a CERCLA case?• Did the period of production at a contaminated site you’re involved with pre-date the era of regulation and reporting and relevant data seems sparse?• Do you need the efficient location, collection, and analysis of industry-specific historical documents for a Superfund sediment site or toxic torts case?• Do you need to understand and document the historical processes, production volumes, materials used and waste streams generated at different points in time by a client or by a separate potentially responsible party (PRP)?• Would you like to know if the U.S. government ever controlled or managed your clients’ operations during wartime or your client produced materials for the military governed by military specifications?• Are you trying to understand what specific industries knew about contaminating practices and when they knew it?• Is your client concerned about liability exposure due to potential historical use of contaminants such as TCE, PFOS and PFOA, PCBs, or other contaminants of concern? Let’s have a conversation.I can advise on any of the above, help you develop research and case strategy, critique opposing expert historical reports, and provide expert reports and testimony.Please contact me at kzahniser@hrassoc.com and we can set up a brief introductory discussion about how I can use my experience as a historian to strengthen your case in current or upcoming litigation.
