Portland Maine Law office of Nicholas H. Walsh, P.A.
Maritime law and admiralty law specialist with a subspecialty in medical malpractice.
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.
