Mr. Dennis Michael McElwee

I have handled maritime injury cases for over two decades. I have tried injury cases in courtrooms throughout the United States under the Jones Act, General Maritime Law and seaman’s wage claim law, as well as general personal injury cases. I am an expert on maritime piracy cases and Longshore claims. We accept cases on referral.
