We have had the privilege of having Doug Williams at Boat Law represent us in two unique damage cases. They are totally dedicated to each person that they represent. We found that they give personal attention to all the aspects of the case. Boat Law gives you an objective opinion regarding your issue and they are transparent in the overall financial out come. They will give you an opinion on the validity and outcome of your claim. They are honest, personal, and extremely qualified to handle any case they accept. This is a small , personal law firm that I would highly recommend for your council.

I have had the pleasure of working with Douglas Williams with Boat Law LLP on two separate occasions, and although the reasoning behind needing his services weren't the greatest, he has always been extremely helpful and professional. He is very personable and knowledgable in Maritime Law which helps when dealing with very stressful situations. He is diligent and always gets back to you in a timely matter. In both instances working with him I have had favorable outcomes, in large part to Doug's expertise. He is definitely the kind of lawyer you would like to have in your corner and that you can trust if you find yourself needing legal services.

My case was complicated due to the longevity of the time I lasted while working injured. After surgeries and therapy that lasted a little over 2 years I wasn't able to return to work. I hired Doug and I thought that I had an easy case seeing as how all I did was what was asked of me and stuck it out. As it happens my case was quite the difficult one. Doug and his firm though went to bat for me. When I say that I mean with all the hope you'd want from having to deal with lawyers. If you're like me you're probably very wary of lawyers and the court system.just seems like common sense. Doug, Cher , and Aysha as well as dougs associates whom I didn't speak to(Doug conferred with them often) made the entire process so pleasant I miss getting their calls. Cher whom I dealt with the most besides Doug is about the brightest ray of sunshine I could've asked for. She basically held my hand through all the paperwork and logistics. The things I didn't understand she made sure I did and only had my best interest at heart. Aysha , who stepped in anytime Cher was unavailable ( which I assume Cher was assigned to my case and Aysha would fill in if Cher was out of the office) knew the ins and outs of my case as if it was hers. I never lacked information or if I had a question someone had an answer. I feel like they are a tight knit family and I became a friend of the family. I've never written a review before but I feel like these guys deserve the credit due. I went through depression and many other obstacles since my life was changed and they were there every step of the way. Each one of them is an unsung hero for me. I look back now and feel blessed that I hired doug as my representative. I know of course there's money involved and blah blah blah but I'll sincerely say that Doug is one of the few In my opinion that are out there doing what good they can with the tools they have to keep people from getting taken advantage of by the big man. Doug and his crews hard work and diligence paid off immensely. If you're on the fence about who to hire and you've read this far. I'll tell you now if you go somewhere else I'd have the strong suspicion you don't like yourself. Doug changed my life in many ways but it wasn't the money at the end. When I was lost Doug gave me a light in a dark forest and showed me the way.
