- The relevant federal and state investigators know us well—we have counseled clients in connection with investigations before all federal accident investigative agencies, including the U.S. EPA, OSHA, CSB, NTSB, PHMSA, BSEE, and the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as equivalent state and local authorities.
