Defending Civil and Maritime Claims
Our attorneys are skilled litigators who have taken on cases in state and federal courts across the country. We can defend you in claims involving:
- Maritime law
- The Jones Act
- Employment discrimination & harassment
- Commercial litigation
- Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act
- Insurance Coverage
- And more
As soon as you are notified that someone has named you in a lawsuit or class action claim, it is essential that you seek legal representation and begin preparing your defense immediately. You have strict timeframes to respond, and the longer you put off taking action, the more difficult it may be to gather favorable evidence. We understand how stressful it is to be accused of misconduct, and we will do everything possible to alleviate your worries through our experienced and effective advocacy.
As your legal team, we will investigate the claims made against you. In addition to reviewing the plaintiff’s argument, we will seek out contradictory evidence, interview witnesses, and research the relevant case law to obtain favorable outcomes. We have experience representing plaintiffs and defendants and bring our collective knowledge to bear to obtain favorable defense outcomes based on the facts and law involved in your case.
Above all else, our lawyers will listen to you and your goals. Whether you are seeking a dismissal or would prefer to resolve the case through a quiet settlement, your best interests are our top priority. We have experience in representing individuals, businesses, and government agencies, and we never back down from a fight.
Why Experience Matters
When a claim is filed against you, there is more at stake than just financial damages. If your business is involved, legal proceedings could interrupt your operations and harm your reputation. Our attorneys understand the gravity of the situation and will represent you vigorously, creatively, and ethically when defending your interests.
For example, in 2022, our team won a case at trial and again on appeal on behalf of our client whose employee filed a Jones Act claim after being injured on one of our client’s vessels. We were able to prove that the plaintiff was not a seaman because the vessel on which the accident occurred was not in navigation, disqualifying the plaintiff from seeking compensation under the Jones Act.
