What Our Clients Say

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. . ..

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
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.

Free Book Written Exclusively For Injured Maritime Employees

In addition to the thousands of pages of useful information, I've written a free book exclusively for injured maritime employees. It's short (less than 60 pages), gets straight to the point, doesn't use legal jargon, and explains exactly the kinds of traps that your employer will try to trick you into when you're hurt.

I wrote this book because after representing offshore workers and their families for years and years, I've seen the employers take advantage of them too many times. Sadly, by the time these workers get to me, it may be too late.

Even if the company is treating you well, and even if you aren't sure if you even need an attorney, I strongly suggest you get a copy of my book. It will arm you with useful information, it's free, and you will discover things that will likely surprise you about how some offshore employers operate when their employees get hurt.

(Company management, insurance adjusters and company attorneys are not eligible to receive a copy of the book for any price, so please don't even try.)

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 injured maritime employees probably cannot afford to pay hundreds of dollars to have an attorney answer legal questions.

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. And you do not have to hire me before I agree to answer your questions.

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.

(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 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.

Protect Your Future. Arm yourself with information. You owe it to yourself.

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.
