Testimonials

Paul and his team were retained to represent us on a wrongful maritime death suit. The matter was very complex involving multiple estates and Jones Act limitations. He and his team spent years pursuing the claims and fought for us through incredible obstacles. In the end, we could not be more pleased with the settlement they were able to negotiate and would highly recommend them for any maritime representation. John & Carol B.
“Mr. Hofmann and his staff had a genuine concern about my well being; they even sent a gift when my baby was born.” James F.
“I consulted with other lawyers who told me I could not pursue a lawsuit.” Kevin B.
“I knew that the 46 years I spent working in hazardous environments contributed to my disease but did not know what my rights were.” Karl D.
“Timothy Schweitzer, an ex-dock builder himself, did an excellent job handling my case, and I was very happy with the result.” Edward G.
