Attorneys for the maritime worker
since 1970

We Help Maritime Injury Victims Regain Control Of Their Lives

The attorneys at the Law Offices of Cavin and Marks, Jr. & Associates, recognize your service as a merchant mariner, a fisherman or a longshoreman, and we are dedicated to ensuring the security of your future when an unforeseen event occurs.

You don’t want just any personal injury lawyer handling your case. You need an experienced maritime lawyer who understands the Jones Act and admiralty law.

With our attorneys’ combined experience of over 150 years in representing water-based workers, you can be sure our law office will represent your interests with unwavering dedication, efficiency and skill.

Do Maritime Cases Go To Trial?

A very low percentage of Jones Act claims ever go to trial. Most are settled in mediation. Our lawyers have experience in mediation cases nationwide and are familiar with the mediators and professionals on the other side of the table. That makes a significant difference when it comes to reaching a fair resolution.
