John Merriam & Gordon Webb

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SEATTLE MARITIME ASSOCIATES. Gordon Webb and his team turned a bad situation into a reasonable outcome for me. I never wanted to have reason to utilize the services of a liability lawyer, and I was intimidated when I found myself needing to pursue representation after I sustained an injury caused by cruise ship negligence. Gordon was outstanding in guiding me through the process, step-by-step. He was straightforward in explaining the options, pros and cons, legal perspectives, and the caveats of dealing with cruise companies. I never felt that he was talking over my head, nor did I feel that he was talking down to me. Gordon was also very accessible via both email and telephone. I couldn't have asked for better representation. Last but not least, it was a pleasure to work with Gordon; he was friendly, kind and interesting.

John was always straight forward and no hype, really was very helpful and knowledge. I would and will recommend him over and over again

I don't know how to put into words what John Merriam has done for me. I was injured working on a tender boat and I needed help with medical bills and living expenses. Since I contact John for the first time and explain my case he's been on it and everything taking care. He's and Amazing Lawyer but most important a Wondeful Human Being.
"Absolutely the Best Choice"

I suffered a back injury which eventually led to the need for surgery. I quickly realized I needed to retain an attorney to protect my interests. John Merriam and Gordon Webb thoroughly explained my rights under the Jones Act and continue to ensure my medical and financial interests are protected. Don’t try to navigate a Jones Act injury without legal representation by professionals like John Merriam and Gordon Webb.

When I was injured on a cruise ship in 2017 these guys came to my rescue after a paralegal from another firm botched my case. They were able to overcome missed deadlines and unsecured evidence. They pulled my case together and proved my injury. They poured over mountains and mountains of paperwork and medical records like they were forensic experts working a death case. Every time I wanted to give up they made it all okay and in the end persevered. Gordon, John and Tony are dedicated, hard-working and committed to what is right. Each of them went above and beyond anything I expected. I admire each of their individual talents and how they make a perfect team. I would highly recommend this firm for maritime representation. Thank you for everything!!
