Our firm serves a variety of local, regional and national clients in federal and state courts throughout the United States and Gulf Coast. More specifically, we represent plaintiffs and defendants in lawsuits related to the maritime/offshore industry, civil business and commercial disputes, personal injury, stevedore and marine terminal operations, mariner license defense, premises liability, comm
ercial trucking and automobile accidents, employment matters, bad faith insurance, and toxic torts. We believe our experience, knowledge and background in the maritime industry makes the difference in obtaining winning results for our clients. Allison know, personally, the hazards and concerns of men and women working in the maritime industry because they too worked as US Coast Guard licensed mariners offshore and in the Port of Houston. Just as your employment, livelihood, or recreation in the marine environment requires specialized knowledge and experience, the legal landscape is different for an attorney handling a maritime case. Admiralty law is a complex area of law which dates back to antiquity and has been said to be the only true body of international law, through which people of different nations can come together to deal with the promise, profits and perils of voyages and/or ventures at sea. In addition to traditional topics such as carriage of goods, collision/allision, general average, maritime liens, salvage, and personal injury, admiralty law includes recreational boating activities such as cruising, fishing and yachting. We have handled cases in all facets of admiralty law, including personal injury (Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act and Jones Act), mariner license defense, and commercial contract disputes. We are passionate about your rights and your safety. Our firm is based a few minutes south of downtown Houston in the city of Pearland, Texas. Pearland is located in Brazoria County where the county seat is Angleton. Our office is easily accessible due to its close proximity to the Ports of Houston, Galveston, and Freeport, Harris County, Galveston County, Matagorda County, Wharton County, and Brazoria County.
