Schlichtmann and his three colleagues set out to have the company forced to decontaminate the affected areas to pay a major sum of compensation!.

I'm not sure this is the one you're looking for since there are a number of films about this subject!. However, I suppose that Kathleen Quinlan does sort of look like Mary Steenburgen!. I might be completely off the mark!.
I'll check out some other titles to see if I can find a closer match!. An obvious title is "Erin Brockovich", starring Julia Roberts, which deals with lawyers and toxic waste!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
