The EBA is a non-profit association that represents the financial services industry, including bank and non-bank financial institutions, insurers, and those that provide services to them.

He also assists clients with Brownfield redevelopments, environmental litigation, obtaining environmental permits, counseling with respect to their responsibilities on environmental matters, and performing necessary due diligence and planning for corporate acquisitions, real estate purchases and financing.
Dindoffer is listed in The Best Lawyers in America 2012 under Environmental Law and Litigation-Environmental and in Michigan Super Lawyers 2007-2011.
