There's More....


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.
