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.

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.

BP Oil Spill Injury Claims:

Description:http://www.transocean-rig-explosion.com BP CEO Tony Hayward says the Deepwater Horizon explosion was the fault of Transocean. By saying this, he is blaming all of the Transocean employees on the rig, from the rig manager all the way down to the roustabouts. Transocean employees who wish to protect their legal rights against BP's accusations, and who want their voices to be heard rather than swept under the rug by BP, should consider hiring a qualified maritime law firm. Houston, Texas maritime law firm Vujasinovic & Beckcom is nationally recognized and has handled hundreds of offshore injury cases. The firm has never lost a maritime case or a limitation of liability proceeding. Call for a free review of your Deepwater Horizon injury or death claim: (877) 724-7800.
Description:http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com Transocean just filed official papers in Houston, Texas federal court DENYING ANY RESPONSIBILITY for the Deepwater Horizon explosion, and asking the Houston court to CAP ITS LIABILITY at a figure well below the value of all claims. Transocean's filing has a lot of legal implications as to the claims of the rig workers and their families. Importantly, there is now a MUCH EARLIER DEADLINE TO FILE YOUR LEGAL CLAIM. We encourage all Deepwater Horizon crewmembers and their families to consult with a board certified and qualified maritime attorney, so their legal rights in light of this filing will be protected. At Vujasinovic & Beckcom, our founding partners are Board Certified by the Texas State Bar, a designation held by less than 2% of all attorneys in Texas. We are recognized nationally as experts in maritime law and the Jones Act, and have successfully handled hundreds of offshore injury cases. We are located in downtown Houston, Texas, just blocks from the federal courthouse where the critical battle against Transocean's liability limitation filing will be waged. We have fought limitation proceedings filed by offshore companies many, many times, and we have defeated their claim every time. Transocean has its army of lawyers fighting to protect it from your legitimate claim. Now is the time you should hire a qualified maritime attorney to level the playing field and keep your claim on track. Please contact us for a free review of your claim: (877) 724-7800. http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com/practice_areas/transocean-deepwater-horizon-injury-claims.cfm
Description:http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com On May 13, 2010, Transocean filed a document in federal court in Houston, Texas, seeking to LIMIT ITS LIABILITY to the Deepwater Horizon crewmembers based on a 150-year old legal loophole. What does this mean for victims of the Transocean explosion? It means a lot of things, but most importantly it means it's time to hire a qualified maritime attorney to protect your legal rights. At Vujasinovic & Beckcom, both of our founding partners are Board Certified and are nationally recognized experts in maritime law. We are located in downtown Houston only three blocks from the heart of the Transocean litigation, and we have routinely defeated similar attempts by offshore companies to limit their liability.

After Transocean's Deepwater Horizon semi-submersible offshore rig exploded on April 21, 2010, countless lawyer websites and internet advertisements popped up all over the Internet. Much of this advertising suggests injured oil rig workers and their families must "immediately" hire a lawyer, or else their cases will somehow be lost. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In fact, offshore rig workers and their families who are victims of the Transocean Offshore Rig Explosion will be best served by taking their time in hiring an attorney.

Interview a lot of lawyers. Ask them all a lot of questions. Ask if they are Board Certified. How many offshore injury cases have they handled? What is their track record in offshore injury cases? And find out whether their track record documented.

Most importantly, take your time. Nothing bad will happen to any of these cases if lawyers are not hired "as soon as possible." After you have interviewed at least several maritime law firms, choose the lawyer who you believe will do the best job on your case and who you feel most comfortable with.
