Bio
The Appalachian Citizens Law Center is a non-profit law firm in Whitesburg, Kentucky. We provide free legal services to persons and citizens' groups who have legal issues related to coal mining, logging, drilling, and other resource-related practices in Central Appalachia. We represent persons in many types of claims, including:
* Current and former coal miners seeking federal black lung benefits.
* Coal miners who have suffered discrimination at the workplace after complaining about unsafe conditions in the mines.
* Individuals and groups facing environmental problems relating to coal mining or other resource extraction methods, such as water quality issues, permit challenges, or property questions.
