Dalton GA Lawyers

Dalton is the carpet capital of the world with more than 100 individual carpet producing factories. Dalton is home to 33,000 Whitfield County residents who had more millionaires per capita than any U.S. city before the Silicon Valley boom. In 2002, the Dow Chemical Company in Dalton was graded as one of the dirtiest facilities in the nation for the air release of known toxins that harm reproduction.

 

Since Dalton is home to such outstanding industry, it shouldn’t be too surprising to find out that a number of its residents are also reputable lawyers. Lawyers in Dalton counsel their clients on bankruptcy, DUI, immigration, child custody, and wrongful termination cases among many others.

 

Recently, Dalton’s MFG Chemical Inc. agreed to pay $270,000 in civil penalties to resolve the claims that arose from the toxic release of hazardous chemicals. The MFG plant’s initial production of triallyl cyanuarate was incorrectly mixed and lead to an explosion that sent toxic gasses into the atmosphere. The surrounding ½ mile radius was evacuated and many local creeks were poisoned and killed regional aquatic life.
