Summer L. Nastich is a litigator, counselor, scientist, engineer, and arbitrator specializing in environmental, construction, and land use law, including any necessary litigation.

She received three undergraduate degrees (Oceanography, Biology, and Zoology) from Humboldt State University, a J.D. cum laude from Boston University, and then a Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering from U.C. Berkeley. Although at this point she clearly needed to stop going to school and go get a job, her thirst for gaining and applying knowledge never ebbed. And it led her to an exciting law practice that incorporates all of her book learning, the knowledge she gained working as an environmental consultant, and the knowledge and experience she’s assimilated over more than a decade of practicing law. Now Summer brings all of this knowledge and experience to bear to solve her clients’ challenges. When she’s not working, she reads voraciously, takes wilderness survival classes, trains in self-defense, goes mushroom hunting, pranks her kids and listens to podcasts.
