Expert guidance on a complex maritime insurance claim

I engaged Chris Hannan at Jones Walker to handle a complicated marine cargo insurance dispute. His deep knowledge of both admiralty and insurance law, honed over 17 years in New Orleans, was immediately apparent. He expertly navigated the specific regulations and precedents relevant to our Gulf Coast operations, and his recognition by Best Lawyers in these fields is well-deserved. Chris provided clear, strategic counsel that directly led to a favorable settlement. The only minor critique would be that during particularly busy periods, response times could occasionally lag a day. Overall, he is a highly skilled and trustworthy attorney I would confidently recommend for maritime and insurance matters.
