A Lifeline After a Devastating Offshore Injury

When my husband suffered a catastrophic injury working on a vessel in the Gulf, our world was turned upside down. We were overwhelmed by the complex maritime laws and the aggressive pushback from the company. From our first meeting, David Whitmore was a steadying force. His nearly four decades of experience, particularly in admiralty and maritime law, was immediately evident. He patiently explained the Jones Act and the unique challenges of our case, translating legal complexities into clear, actionable steps. David and his team at Blake Jones Law Firm conducted a meticulous investigation, uncovering critical maintenance records and safety violations the company had tried to conceal. His recognition in Best Lawyers for this exact field gave us immense confidence. Throughout the long process, David was both a fierce advocate and a compassionate guide, always returning our calls and keeping us informed. His strategic negotiation secured a settlement that far exceeded our expectations, ensuring my husband's lifelong medical care and our family's financial security. We are forever grateful for his exceptional expertise and unwavering dedication.
