Hiring An Oregon Maritime Lawyer

There are many different kinds of lawyers. If you are in the entertainment field you will have an entertainment attorney. Business owners may have legal counsel who specialize in that type of law. The point is, when you hire an attorney you want someone who is an expert in that area of the law. This is certainly the case if you are in need of an Oregon maritime lawyer.

Because this area of the law is very complicated, an Oregon maritime lawyer is your only choice if you have an Oregon maritime legal situation. Many lawyers so not handle these types of cases because they do not have the experience and training necessary.

Here are a few questions to ask an Oregon maritime lawyer at your first appointment:

1. Are you board-certified in any area of the law?

2. How many Oregon maritime cases have you handled?

3. How many cases have you won that focused on the Jones Act or maritime law?

4. How long have you been practicing law and do you have any experience in other areas of the law?

5. Have you written and published any articles that deal with maritime law or the Jones Act?

6. Do you or your firm have the resources it will take to handle the maritime employer and the insurance company that is representing the employer?

7. Will I be informed of any progress on the case and can I call you if I have questions?

8. What are the fees involved in handling my case?

These questions will give you a place to start when you first meet with an Oregon maritime lawyer.
