 Recent Review:
“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.”
