Maritime Attorney Josh Marino focuses his legal practice on maritime personal injury and wrongful death matters in and around the Gulf of Mexico and its tributary rivers. He has over twenty years of experience as an attorney in Louisiana, where he developed a specialty in litigating claims under the Jones Act and the general maritime law.
Mr. Marino received his Juris Doctor degree from Louisiana State University’s Paul M. Hebert Law Center in 2005. After law school, he proudly served as a law clerk under Chief Judge Richard T. Haik of the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. In 2006, Attorney Marino temporarily relocated to Austin, Texas to participate in a prestigious clerkship for Justice David Medina of the Supreme Court of Texas.
After gaining extensive litigation experience within the judiciary, Mr. Marino expanded his private practice as an attorney at a prominent New Orleans maritime law firm in 2007. There, he represented vessel owners, operators, and insurers in hundreds of cases arising from the Jones Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act, maritime personal injury, and wrongful death disputes.
After a decade of admiralty litigation, Attorney Marino shifted his substantial maritime legal experience to focus on representation of injury victims at sea. His deep experience—both within the judiciary and as a lawyer representing commercial vessel interests—makes him an invaluable asset to any client who was injured or tragically lost a loved one on the water.
Mr. Marino’s expansive maritime law practice has been recognized numerous times through the years. He has been designated AV “Preeminent” by attorney peer-review rating by Martindale Hubbell from 2017 through present. He has also been peer reviewed as a Louisiana Super Lawyer, placing him within the top 5% of practicing attorneys from 2020through present.
Based out of Metairie, Louisiana (JJC Law, LLC), Admiralty Attorney Josh Marino is here to assist injured crewmembers, commercial fishermen, vessel passengers, dock workers, and others who may have lost a loved one at sea.
