What Our Clients Say

Dear Mr. Beckcom:

I never got a chance to say thank you for the wonderful job you did on my daughter's case. She will be graduating in June from High School with cum laude status. She will be attending college at U.T. Austin and majoring in Communications. Thanks to your efforts her college education has been taken care of. Thank you again from both of us.

J. Perez

Houston, Texas
Mr. Beckcom fought diligently on my behalf against my former employer, without a retainer from me.....I was truly grateful to have Mr. Beckcom on my side and would recommend him to anyone without reservation."

A. Worley, Injured Cruise ship employee

New Mexico
I hired Brian Beckcom in 2009 for the injury case I had after I was hurt as a deckhand and within 11 months Brian had settled my case. He did such a fabulous job and I recommend using his firm for your maritime injury case.

J. McKeone, Deckhand

Livingston, Texas
Brian and his staff are courteous and professional, and they work diligently to make sure the client transitions through the process as easily and comfortably as possible.

Your sincere and satisfied client,

Steve T.

Houston, Texas
I was hurt on a boat offshore. Brian and his law firm worked hard on my case. The settlement he got for me will take care of my financial needs for the rest of my life. If you are looking for someone to take your interests at heart Brian and his law firm can give you the attention your case deserves.

Tim M.

Austin, Texas
I hired Brian after I was hurt on an offshore oil platform. I would recommend Brian and his law firm to anyone who needed a good injury lawyer, and especially any offshore worker. . ..

Jackie R

Houston, Texas
There are only a small number of attorneys who could handle such a complex case as mine, and Brian was at the top of the list. His response time is unsurpassed, replying within minutes to my initial enquiry. He has an instinctive understanding of the legal issues, and consummate people skills, an essential attribute in the negotiation phase of any litigation. Thanks to Brian the case was settled favorably within a year.

Steven S.,

Wales, U.K.
Brian, your book was a real eye-opener. If I had read your book sooner, I would have avoided a lot of costly mistakes.

Captain Jim Vickers
I was hurt on an offshore oil rig. I was unable to work or get proper medical care from the company. I was referred to Brian by another law firm because that firm knew Brian specialized in Jones Act cases. Brian settled my case in less than 12 months. The settlement will enable me to take care of my family financially for a long time. I would highly recommend Brian and his firm to any injured worker.

Ask Me A Legal Question For Free

Some attorneys charge $200, $300, $400, $500 dollars or more for just an hour of their time.

I don't. I realize that you probably cannot afford to pay hundreds of dollars to have an attorney answer legal questions, especially if you are injured and aren't getting a steady income.

So what I do is make you this offer: If you have a legal question about a maritime injury case, and you want my advice, I will give you my honest opinion free of charge with no obligations.

You can use the Contact Forms on this website to send me a question. However, many people want to talk to me directly about their case. If you want to talk to me about your situation, just call my office toll free at 877.724.7800 and schedule an appointment.

(WARNING: If you already have an attorney, you need to ask your attorney your legal questions, not me. If you hired the right attorney, he or she should be able to answer your questions.)

Thousands of Maritime Employee Visitors Every Month

We get thousands of visitors to our websites every month. We think that's because we want you to understand as much as you can about your situation before your employer tricks you, the insurance company fools you, or some lawyer pressures you to hire him or her immediately.

What Our Clients Say

I could go on an on like some lawyers talking about how much they "care about" you and your case (they don't even know you yet--it makes no sense), how they will be "aggressive" or have "______ years of experience." But you've probably heard that all before.

Instead of saying the same thing everyone else is saying, we prefer to simply let our track record and our clients speak for us.
