Our law firm is representing more than 100 fisherman and many businesses impacted by this crisis. We have met with many clients, fisherman, shrimp farmers and oyster farmers. On the same day that the President met with fisherman and inspected the region from overhead, we met with concerned fisherman, families, and other businesses and residents.  We agree with President Obama that BP, the giant oil conglomerate that leased the doomed rig Deepwater Horizon that exploded on April 20, should be held accountable for the cleanup and paying for the economic impact to the region’s fishing industry.
