Wetstone Solutions
Environmental litigation support
With over 40 years of experience in groundwater, soil, and contested technical records, we help when allocation, coverage, cost recovery, or liability turns on the evidence—you need a team that writes for the record, not a slide deck that falls apart on cross.
At a glance
Wetstone Solutions provides environmental litigation support—expert reports, technical rebuttals, deposition preparation, and trial testimony—for groundwater, soil, hydrogeochemistry, and forensic geology disputes nationwide.
What the work looks like
Who this is for
Outside and in-house counsel, insurers, and responsible parties who need credible hydrogeologic, geochemical, and fate-and-transport interpretations that align with site data and withstand scrutiny.
Methodology
We build a single, traceable narrative from site history, geology, chemistry, monitoring, and modeling assumptions to your legal strategy. Where scenarios diverge, we document alternatives and sensitivity—not hidden defaults.
Deliverables
- Expert reports and declarations
- Rebuttals and technical critiques
- Deposition preparation and trial support
- Document and record review with issue spotting
- Visualizations for judge and jury communication
From the insights
- What counsel should look for in a hydrogeology expert witness
What to look for in a hydrogeology expert witness: licensure, site-type experience, writing for the record, and how to start a conflict check.
- Forensic geology in environmental litigation
How forensic geology uses stratigraphy, fill, and pathway hypotheses in environmental disputes, and where sparse boring control limits the opinion.
Licensed states
Wetstone maintains professional geologist licensure in five states. Engagement still depends on scope, conflicts, and the rules that apply to the work.
Frequently asked questions
- What does environmental litigation support include?
- Support can include expert report preparation, technical review of opposing opinions, development of exhibits, deposition preparation, and trial testimony depending on engagement scope and jurisdiction.
- Do you work with counsel nationwide?
- Yes. Many engagements are remote-friendly for analysis and report preparation, with travel scheduled when site inspection, trial, or hearing attendance is required.
- How do you handle confidential or privileged materials?
- We follow counsel’s instructions for privilege, protective orders, and data handling. Share only what your team authorizes and use secure transfer methods as directed.
- Can you assist with both plaintiff and defense matters?
- We evaluate technical merits independent of side. Engagements are accepted based on fit, conflicts, and scope—not on party label.
