Colin McRae of HunterMaclean provided excellent representation in a complicated maritime lien dispute. His deep knowledge of admiralty law, honed over 26 years, was immediately evident. He guided us through the intricacies of the case with clear, strategic advice, and his recognition as a multiple-time Lawyer of the Year in this field is well-deserved. While communication response times could occasionally be quicker given his caseload, his courtroom performance and negotiation skills were outstanding. We achieved a highly favorable settlement and would confidently recommend him for maritime and business litigation matters.
