I am an environmental lawyer who has more than 50 years experience in environmental matters as an engineer, biologist, consultant and lawyer. My practice includes all aspects of environmental law including air and water permitting and enforcement defense, solid and hazardous wastes, contaminated sites and wetlands. You can view my credentials at www.floridalandlaw.com. Among other things, I have been attending the Marco Island conference for over 30 years and I been involved in the Florida Brownfields Association from the time it was conceived and was a founding member. Today, I serve on the FBA Board of Directors. I look forward to seeing you and I am always willing to share a glass of wine with old friends and to meet new ones. Look me up! You can reach me at 813 760-2570.  Be sure to also meet our older son and my new law firm partner, Travis Moore Hearne, who is now practicing environmental law with me at Mechanik Nuccio Hearne & Wester. His brother, Cannon L. Hearne, recently graduated from Stetson Law School in May 2023 and intends to join our practice and become an environmental lawyer himself. This year he is studying hard for the Florida Bar Exam which takes place the week after the Marco Island conference!  Cannon is a graduate of USF in Geology before he went to law school. Both Cannon and Travis are fathers of sons born in 2021! See you soon!
