The business attorneys at Klinedinst PC are happy to declare that Timothy R. Pomeroy has joined the San Diego legal team.

Prior to Klinedinst, Mr. Pomeroy served in the United States Air Force as an attorney in the Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG). Much of his work was about complex environmental legal issues facing the military. He would regularly advise commanders on significant federal and state environmental statutes, as well as ensure compliance at almost two dozen hazardous waste sites. He drafted legal reviews on a wide array of topics, including environmental policy, and participated in environmental audits.

In addition to work related to complex environmental law, Mr. Pomeroy oversaw military justice and adverse actions, including courts-martial proceedings. In one posting, he prepared over 100 tort claims at one of the world's busiest Air Force claims offices. He would also be required to advice military hospital and regional medical counsel on various legal issues, and participate in post-trial and clemency issues. While serving at Los Angeles Air Force Base, this environmental law specialist even coordinated the base's Victim and Witness Assistance Program.

One of the highlights of his JAG service came when Mr. Pomeroy was selected by the Pentagon to help diffuse the international scandal that erupted over prisoner mistreatment at Forward Operating Base Abu Ghraib. During his assignment in Iraq, he advised the facility commander, staff and interrogation teams on applicable law and policy involving the base's detainee population. Working under powerful international scrutiny, he was able to ensure 100% case accountability, even under combat conditions.

John D. Klinedinst, CEO of Klinedinst PC is full of praise for this environmental law specialist, "Timothy is a tremendous attorney who is able to get the job done, even under the most extreme circumstances. He has an incredible work ethic, and brings a unique perspective to our environmental law group. Plus, his experience in complex environmental issues will be a tremendous asset for our clients. We're proud of Tim's service to our country, and very pleased to welcome him to our San Diego office."

Mr. Pomeroy graduated from Pepperdine University School of Law in 2001, with a Juris Doctor and Master of Dispute Resolution. During law school, he took part in the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot competition in Vienna, Austria. He was also named Managing Editor of Dispute Resolution Law Journal, and was a founding Board Member for the Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology Law. During law school, he worked as a Legal Intern with the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) in their Los Angeles office. He earned his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University with a B.S. in Psychology.
