Admiralty Lawyers

Admiralty lawyers are also sometimes referred to as maritime lawyers. Generally speaking, admiralty lawyers deal with things that occur on waterways like the oceans and seas. Admiralty lawyers may help clients with contracting to transport their products by ship, or who are involved in boating accidents, or other things that involve boats or ships, or that occur on the water.

WHY

HOW IS DIFFERENT

SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE HIRING A LAWYER

When lawyers who you have selected call or e-mail you, LawyerOwl.com strongly encourages you to ask them questions, and to do as much checking into their background or credentials as you believe necessary, before you decide to hire them.

Lawyers are licensed by individual States. A lawyer can be licensed to practice law in one State but not another. The States in which a Lawyer says he or she is licensed should appear in their entry on your Personalize List. You might wish to consider asking the Lawyers to confirm for you what States they are licensed in when you speak to them.

You should also consider asking each Lawyer whether he or she has a State Bar Identification Number(s). Depending on the State, this may instead be called a State Court Identification Number, or an Attorney Licensing Number, or something similar. If the lawyer says that he or she does not have such a number, you may want to ask them to tell you how you can verify that they are a properly licensed attorney "in good standing" (which generally means that they have not had their license to practice law suspended or revoked).

You might also consider asking the lawyer to give you the telephone number and/or the web site address of the State Bar or State Court where they are licensed, so that you can use his or her Identification Number to verify for yourself whether that lawyer is properly licensed and in good standing. In some States, you may be able to look up a lawyer right on the State Bar or State Court's official website.

Sometimes lawyers can do work in States where they are not licensed. For example, a trial lawyer licensed in another State may be able to ask a court in your State for permission to appear as your lawyer in your specific lawsuit only (this is commonly referred to as a "pro hac vice" motion). Likewise, some States may allow out-of-state lawyers to negotiate a contract or do corporate work for you. If you like a lawyer who is not licensed in the State you need, you might still wish to consider sending him or her an Invitation to contact you anyway. If you do, you should consider asking that lawyer if he or she will be able to do the work you need in the State where you need it done.

These are only a very few sample questions you might want to ask. You should ask each lawyer as many questions and do as much checking or research as you want to until, in your own independent judgment, you feel comfortable hiring that lawyer.

LawyerOwl.com does not independently review the lawyers listed on this web site or the information that they provide in their Lawyer Profiles.

Fee Agreement. You must indicate your agreement at the bottom of this form to proceed.

LawyerOwl.com is risk-free to you. If your legal matter is not successful, you do not have to pay LawyerOwl.com anything.

What does "risk free" mean?

Risk-free means that as a client, you pay nothing to LawyerOwl.com out-of-pocket: No subscription fees, no monthly or annual fees, no membership fees - ever. You pay nothing now to submit your description of why you are looking for a lawyer, or to get your Personalized List of matched lawyers, or to send Invitations to the lawyers you choose to let them know you are interested in talking to them about your problem or legal issue. You can submit as many different descriptions of as many problems or legal issues that you have, and receive as many Personalized Lists as you like, and you can send Invitations to as many lawyers as you are interested in.

The way this works is that LawyerOwl.com gets paid by you ONLY IF you actually get money in a settlement, or you win a money judgment from a court or an award in an arbitration; if you complete a sale of your property or business; if you are able to raise money for your business; if you receive money as a result of your reporting a fraud at your company; or some other way. In other words, only if you and your lawyer are successful.

Even then, you pay LawyerOwl.com ONLY AFTER you actually collect your money or your lawyer actually collects your money for you.

If you do not collect any money, or you lose your lawsuit or arbitration, or your transaction does not work out, you do not have to pay LawyerOwl.com anything. At LawyerOwl.com, you pay us only if you get paid yourself.

Before you can enjoy the benefits of this risk-free service, it is important that you read and agree to the following:

Instructions to My Lawyer. I hereby agree that this Fee Agreement is and shall be deemed to be my binding instruction and authorization to the Lawyer who I hire in this legal Matter, and any co-counsel, or subsequent or successor lawyer who I may hire later to take over in this legal Matter from my original Lawyer (whether engaged through the use of LawyerOwl.com's services or otherwise) (a "Replacement Lawyer"), to do the following without further notice to me:
- Inform LawyerOwl.com that he or she has been hired by me to be my Lawyer in connection with my legal Matter, within three (3) business days of my hiring him or her; and to immediately provide LawyerOwl.com with the name and telephone number, and e-mail address if known, of any Replacement Lawyer who I may hire later;

- To send the full Payment to LawyerOwl.com before distributing, releasing, or paying any of the Matter Proceeds to me or to anyone else other than LawyerOwl.com.
Implementation. I understand and hereby agree that LawyerOwl.com shall be entitled to send a copy of this Fee Agreement to every Lawyer on my personalized list whom I elect to send an Invitation to, and any Replacement Lawyer I may hire later. This Paragraph is and shall be deemed to be my binding instruction and authorization to the Lawyer I hire in this legal Matter, and any Replacement Lawyer, to take any and all steps necessary to give full implementation and effect to the terms of this Fee Agreement.
Changes. I understand and hereby agree that this Fee Agreement, and the instructions and authorizations herein, may not be rescinded, changed, amended, modified, or withdrawn, except by a written agreement signed by both me and by LawyerOwl.com in writing (i.e., not signed by electronic signature or other electronic means).
Preservation of Privileges and Independence. Nothing herein shall be construed as waiving the attorney-client privilege between me and the Lawyer I hire, or as requiring the production of attorney-client privileged information, or as requiring the production of information subject to attorney work-product protections, or in such a way as to compromise my Lawyer's independence in providing legal advice and services to me.
Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, Venue. I hereby agree that this Fee Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the substantive and procedural laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law provisions. I also hereby agree that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the New York State Courts located in the borough of Manhattan, shall have personal jurisdiction over me in any dispute or litigation concerning, related to, or arising from this Fee Agreement, that I hereby waive any objections as to venue or forum non conveniens, and that any such litigation between me and LawyerOwl.com shall be conducted only in those courts, unless one of those courts determines that such forum or venue is otherwise not permissible under law.
Severability. I hereby agree that in the event that any term, provision, or paragraph of this Fee Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void under law or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of this Fee Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and shall be construed in such a manner as to most closely give effect to its original meaning, as though the void or unenforceable term, provision, or paragraph never existed.

I have read and understood the above Fee Agreement, and I Agree to its terms.

I do not agree.
