Walter Maestri is a maritime attorney working in the offshore fields representing companies that have contracts with oil and gas interests in the Gulf of Mexico. Whether representing the actual platform owner or the service industries that provide support to the oil and gas industry, he defends those companies against personal injury actions, property damage loss, lost oil and gas revenues, or other claims that may arise from operations in the Gulf. Working in partnerships with his clients, Walter also litigates cases arising under the Jones Act, the general maritime law, collisions/allisions and offshore platform accidents.

Walter Maestri understands that a client’s business interests may outweigh winning the case at all costs, so he takes time to identify what his clients' primary goals and expectations are as he begins defending their interests.
