Do you provide free legal services to seafarers?
Yes. Tonya Meister is a former seafarer and believes it is important for seafarers to know their legal rights. The firm provides free legal consultations to seafarers and will sometimes, in select circumstances, provide free legal services to seafarers.
How do you charge seafarers?
The firm represents injured, ill and unpaid seafarers on a contingency fee. That means they get paid a percentage of any money that they obtain for the seafarer. They will advance the costs of bringing the legal action, and will only get paid an attorney’s fee and have their costs reimbursed if successful in obtaining money for the seafarer.
