A former Coast Guard Officer, commercial fisherman and merchant mariner, since 1988 Nicholas H. Walsh has brought his practical knowledge to the legal table, providing service to the New England maritime community. For commercial fisherman and merchant mariners, the firm offers plaintiff's assistance in injury claims (including Jones Act and Unseaworthiness claims), fishery permit transfers and appeals, vessel sales and mortgages, salvage representation and all other areas of admiralty and maritime law.
Injured cruise ship and ferry passengers benefit from the same level of practical knowledge and legal expertise. Mr. Walsh practices before the federal and state courts of Maine, and has an active practice before the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Maine Department of Marine Resources. He is skilled at handling problematic Coast Guard vessel documentation issues.
He recognizes that each client works within a budget, and takes pride in offering legal services for a fraction of that which a big firm would charge, with work of equal or better quality.

Services
There are very few admiralty or maritime personal injury attorneys who served in the Coast Guard, or who were in the merchant marine, or who were commercial fishermen.
Nicholas Walsh has been all three: a deck officer on a medium endurance cutter, a merchant seaman on a cargo-passenger ship sailing the New York - Valpo route, and a swordfish longliner hand.
Sailors know that unless you've been there, you don't really get it.
For your Jones Act or maritime personal injury case, hire a lawyer with saltwater experience AND twenty years' experience in the courtroom - hire a lawyer who gets it.

Hurt on land, working for some land-bound contractor, factory or shop, and chances are you will look to worker's compensation law to pay for your care and lost wages.
Working at a shipyard, and your relief comes in the form of the federal Longshore and Harborworkers Compensation Act, a sort of federalized worker's comp program.
But once you've signed on to a ship, ferry or fishing boat as deckhand, mate, oiler or steward, if you are hurt you will seek help in a complex collection of maritime law, some recent and some among the oldest law on the planet.

We would depart Poulsbo mid-May, sail to the Beaufort Sea via.
When my wife and I entered Bahamian waters last year, I prepared to hoist the Q flag we'd bought at Hamilton Marine.
Solid yellow, the Q flag shows that the ship is requesting "practique", permission to enter the foreign country and to submit to inspection by the.
Until 2019, the commander of a ship in the United States Navy had the authority to order a lower ranking enlisted sailor (E-3 and below) confined to the brig on a diet of bread and water.
