Maritime Legal Resources



			Maritime Legal Resources *Admiralty Maritime and Transportation Lawyers* Maritime Legal Resources specializes in maritime law, the law that applies to boats, ships, seamen, longshoremen, yacht brokers, marine suppliers, offshore oil rigs and platforms, and any incident that occurs on the water. Our attorneys have a combination of maritime experience, education in maritime law, and/or practical boating experience. If you need maritime expertise for any legal issue, whether it is pre-litigation or taking your case all the way to trial, you need our team. Many people in need of maritime legal expertise are unaware of their need. All boaters know that the marine environment is different than the environment on land. The same is true when a casualty or loss is suffered on or near the water and you need legal assistance. Just as your work or recreation in the marine environment requires specialized knowledge, the legal landscape is different for an attorney handling a maritime case. You simply cannot afford to retain an attorney who is not familiar with the field. Maritime or marine law involves complicated, unique laws that the average land-based or automobile accident lawyer is neither familiar with nor encounters on a regular basis. This lack of familiarity or experience with boating and marine law could prejudice the way your problems are handled. Maritime Legal Resources is experienced and trained in boating and marine law to properly handle your legal needs. The most obvious difference is the courthouse itself. Maritime cases are generally heard in Federal Court while non-maritime matters are usually heard in State Court. Most maritime cases are heard by a Federal District Court Judge, not a jury. Whether you are a seaman with a Jones Act Claim, a recreational boater involved in a collision or wake damage case, or the owner of cargo damaged in ocean transportation, your case can and should be heard in Federal Court. We practice regularly in the Federal system and can represent you in any maritime matter. Give us a call - the initial consultation is without charge or commitment.
