Lacey Act prosecutions are not always big ticket items. A lot depends on the USA office and how strong they might be on resource prosecutions. There have been/are some good attorneys in the USA environmental section.

Sometimes, smaller cases can work through the system. A lot depends on the strength of the relationship between the state and federal officers (WDFW, NOAA, NMFS, USFWS, BLM, USFS, NPS) and their track record with the USA office.

Politics can also enter the equation, which is unfortunate since the resource belongs to all of us.
