About Jacob
Biography
After graduating from New York Maritime College I started my maritime career by going to sea as a deck officer on oil tankers.
I attended law school at Tulane University and focused my studies in the area of admiralty and maritime law. Upon graduation I worked for a major maritime law firm in New Orleans representing shipping companies. In 1988 I moved to New York and switched my practice to exclusively representing injured seaman and passengers aboard vessels. Having tried numerous jury trial and obtaining many 7 figure verdicts for our clients.
