St Louis Jones Act Lawyer

Many years ago, the United States Congress recognized that river workers, seamen and their families deserved financial protection from on-the-job injuries. In 1920, the U.S. Congress passed the Merchant Marine Act, more familiarly known to river workers as the Jones Act.

Troy Walton I want to say thank you for representing me in the Wrongful Death Case of my late husband. You and your team were very personal and professional 'and I was so happy when you and your team accepted the case. I was very pleased with the outcome and this would have not happened without you and your team. You kept me informed of everything that was going on with the case in a timely manner and I appreciate that. I did not worry about what was going on I only wanted the best to happen and to let you do your job. This was a long road to travel down and without your hard work and dedication to this case it could have lasted for years and again I want to say THANK YOU. I take pride in you and what you have done for my family and for my future. Your paralegal has done a great job in getting information to me and taking the time to come to me to get important document signed.

Troy and Mary Beth were absolutely great over the year and a half they worked on my case. For someone almost entirely unfamiliar with the legal world they made every step of the process clear and concise for me. I can’t thank them enough for their hard work on my behalf!

Highly recommended! They gave me a sense of comfort during a difficult time, and I felt 100% secure that they had my best interests in mind. I worked with Troy Walton and he's not only a great attorney, he's an amazing person as well....and that means a lot to me.

They made this very difficult process as stress free as possibly for me. Anytime I may not have understood some law terms they would make sure to explain it until I understood. The staff is very professional, but also very empathetic to what you have gone through. I have & will continue to recommend them to my friends and family.
