Practice Areas & Industries: Galloway, Johnson, Tompkins, Burr & Smith, A Professional Law Corporation

Practice/Industry Group Overview

There is a seeming paradox in the nature of maritime cases: the stakes are high, but the price of inaction is higher. Ships are idled, cargoes and charters lost, evidence destroyed and money wasted. It was to address this challenge that the firm developed its aggressive case-management approach: rapid, thorough investigation, coupled with an unflinching assessment of the strategic options.
