Very nice and helpful genuine people. Nick and Doug don’t just see you as another client they actually care about how things would affect me and went above and beyond for my best interests. I feel that finding that anywhere else would be a challenge. Highly recommended.

The law firm of Anderson Carey Williams & Neidzwski, PLLC recently represented me and settled my personal injury claim. I highly, highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking representation for a maritime personal injury claim. My attorney, Doug Williams, and his legal team, Farrell Covel and Cher Raske, were the best! Doug is extremely personable, easy to talk to and work with, very reassuring, very patient in making sure you understand everything that is going on and you know he and your team have your back a 1000%. The process wasn't easy but Doug and his legal team were very compassionate, understanding and supportive. I could not have chosen a better law firm to represent me.

I was very fortunate to be represented by Anderson Carey Williams & Neidzwski PLLC. Their team was extremely understanding throughout the entire process, and incredibly kind. They truly go the extra mile for your best interest and care... that's something that you don't see everyday. I was lucky to have Nick, Farrell, and Cher working on my side. They are wonderful people and are experts in their field. I wish I would of hired them sooner. However, I was still able to receive excellent care even though some time had passed since the initial injury. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs representation for a Maritime Injury. They have done a wonderful service for me and I can't thank them enough.

If you told me 2.5 years ago I would be writing a glowing review for Lawyers and a Law Firm of my own free will, I would have laughed at you. Well here I am. After a personal injury, in which I fully blamed another party, I did much soul searching and decided to retain an attorney. After many phone calls to Attorneys in Seattle and New York City, I was directed to Anderson Carey Williams & Neidzwski, PLLC.
I believe Nick Neidzwski and Dave Anderson of Anderson Carey Williams & Neidzwski, PLLC represented me to the fullest of their ability. They were honest, up front about how things would go, kept clear and concise communication with me. They informed me in advance of the risks and were very open about the process and how things would proceed. Nick called weekly to update me.
When the opposition threw wrenches into our works, Nick worked tirelessly into the night to afford me the best representation anyone could want. They went into the court room with me and made me feel at ease, explained everything and argued my case expertly. Through their use of experts, joint examinations, depositions, medical records they were able to satisfactorily prove my case well enough that the other side settled. They also got me more than I expected. Their support staff at the office, especially Laura, were excellent and professional. They always made me feel welcome. I would highly recommend them!

I firwas recently represented by Anderson, Carey, & Williams in a lawsuit against a Portland, Or. boat company which involved an injury to me.
The two attorneys who represented me (Nick Neidzwski & Gordon T. Carey, Jr.) did a superb job in the handling and presentation of my case. I was kept appraised of each step of the process and how it was being laid out for trial.
I would highly recommend the law firm of Anderson, Carey, & Williams to anyone needing legal counsel for maritime matters. They did a superb job for me.

More About BoatLaw, LLP

If you suffer an injury or illness while employed on a commercial vessel, you may quickly find yourself viewed as a liability by the vessel’s owners. Other crew members might distance themselves, leaving you feeling isolated, uncertain, and unsupported. Often, the severity of your injury or illness may be far greater than you initially realize, and your legal right to compensation may be more extensive than you know. Without the guidance of an experienced attorney, it’s unlikely that you’ll have the information necessary to fully understand or protect your legal rights. While you are left wondering what steps to take next, the vessel owners and their representatives are already taking action to limit your compensation and protect their interests.

Don’t navigate this process alone. Contact BoatLaw, LLP to ensure you understand your rights and the full scope of compensation available for your injury or illness. Our experienced maritime attorneys are here to help you secure the justice
