  • 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.
