Burns Charest attorney Korey Nelson was featured in an article in the New Orleans Times- Picayune based on the firm’s representation of two south Louisiana cities and a parish in litigation against AT&T and Lumen Technology for the companies neglecting to remove deteriorating lead-wrapped cables, causing environmental damage to soil and groundwater in the region.
