We also assist in business disputes, real estate, and property disputes, among others. For several decades, we have represented vessel interests in cases involving seamen or passengers. We encounter numerous concerns ranging from arresting and bonding vessels; bareboating charters; maintenance and repair; defects of equipment; United States Coast Guard Regulations to general maritime law. We have also successfully dealt with commercial maritime cases. The marine law is ever-changing, and the courts are constantly revisiting various issues.
