About

Founder and Managing Attorney - Stephen D. Daly, Esq. 

​

For nearly a decade, I represented large corporate clients in environmental and business disputes across the country. But the people who needed my services the most couldn't afford the rates that large corporations could pay. 

 

I started Citizen Environmental Law PLLC to represent regular people and citizen groups in environmental matters.  I'm now able to leverage my experience working on some of the largest environmental cases in the country to defend what matters most to real people and their communities.

 

Citizen Environmental provides legal support to those fighting for environmental protection and justice. With a focus on integrity and dedication, we aim to make a positive impact in our communities and the environment.

​

We are proudly based in the greater Rochester/Finger Lakes Region in New York.
