THE BERSCHLER DIFFERENCE

At Berschler Associates, PC our law firm helps clients obtain a positive resolution to serious injury and wrongful death claims, as well as U.S. Coast Guard matters.

Our focus is on the law related to the maritime industry, including injury, wrongful death, U.S. Coast Guard actions, TSA security actions, collisions and vessel ownership. We practice in state or federal court nationwide, as each case may require.

The substance and related procedures of maritime and admiralty law differ greatly from the law applicable to “shore-side” matters. Achieving the best result in your case, demands lawyers who are skilled and knowledgeable in which law to apply, what facts to gather and how best to present evidence.

The attorneys at Berschler Associates, PC have more than 48 years of legal experience successfully representing clients in a broad range of personal injury, wrongful death, Coast Guard, TSA and other maritime matters.

We have obtained results for injured mariners, seafarers, commercial fishermen, maritime workers, cruise ship passengers and recreational boaters located across the United States and around the world, as well as in California waterways and lakes, such as the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, the San Francisco Bay, and all along the Central Coast and Northern Coast of California.

Our firm is prepared
to help you navigate
legal proceedings
to obtain full
compensation
for your losses and
to protect your
livelihood.
