Gilman & Allison, LLP

Gilman & Allison, LLP serves a variety of local, regional and national clients in federal and state courts throughout the United States. More specifically, we represent parties 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, commercial trucking and automobile accidents, employment matters, bad faith insurance, and toxic torts. Our experience, knowledge and background in the maritime industry makes the difference in obtaining winning results for our clients. Every attorney at Gilman & Allison, LLP knows first-hand the hazards and concerns involved in operating within the maritime industry because they too have worked as stevedores, mariners, and marine advisors. Your activities and pursuits in the marine environment require specialized knowledge and experience. Likewise, the landscape of a maritime case is a unique legal theater that demands understanding and rewards insight gained through experience. 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 effectively handle cases in all facets of admiralty law, including commercial contract disputes, personal injury (Longshore & Harbor Workers' Compensation Act and Jones Act), and mariner license defense. If you have concerns that fall within our area of expertise, please contact us so we can schedule an appointment to meet with you for a free consultation and evaluation.
