Would you choose a drunk driving lawyer for a divorce? I bet not! So why would someone in their right mind go to a non-maritime lawyer for a maritime or Jones Act matter?
You presumably want to find an maritime attorney that will most zealously and vigorously represent you in your serious matter. Maritime law is a very old and specialized area of law, and there are only a few in the country that are as seriously qualified as Proctors in Admiralty to take your case. Dennis M. O’Bryan is one of them. Being a Proctor in Admiralty means that you have been certified by the Maritime Law Association of the United States as a recognized practitioner of admiralty law.
Many times, clients become dissatisfied with their non-maritime attorney and switch to Mr. O’Bryan. It is a general rule of law that a client can switch attorneys at any time. Sometimes Mr. O’Bryan informs the client that the lawyer is doing the right thing, and sometimes the client pulls the plugs and switches his representation. All in all, to render the most favorable outcome in your case, you must ensure that your attorney knows the in-and-out’s of the game.
