Oahu Maritime & Admiralty Lawyer
Standing Up for Your Offshore Legal Rights
Under 28 U.S. Code § 1333, all admiralty, maritime, and prize cases in the United States are handled under federal law. Such claims involve matters ranging from personal injury claims for maritime workers to damaged cargo to oil spills—and everything in between. Basically, if an incident occurs on the water rather than on land, it is likely it falls under maritime and therefore federal jurisdiction.
JAW LEGAL practices maritime and admiralty law in the states of Hawaii and California. Our Oahu-based maritime and admiralty attorney Jared A. Washkowitz, Esq. (“JAW”) has been designated a Proctor in Admiralty by the Maritime Law Association of the United States and has over two decades of experience assisting clients with maritime legal matters. No matter how straightforward or complex your legal matter is, our legal team can help you resolve the matter effectively.

Work With an Attorney Who Will Put Your Interests First
If you have a maritime or admiralty claim in Hawaii, we recommend you act fast. Because maritime and admiralty claims can fall under so many different legal categories—from wrongful death to property damage to contract disputes—the statutes of limitations can vary. This means is that the deadline to file your claim might be sooner than you think. Our legal team can help you determine whether you have a case, how soon it must be filed, and what we can do to help. Should you choose to retain our attorney, we will help you build an innovative and effective legal strategy that will protect you and your livelihood.
