Looking for a lawyer isn’t something you want to do. But when I found Stacey & Jacobson, I found something special. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen to me after I got hurt on a barge. I wasn’t able to work the same job and was faced with not being able to work on the water. I didn’t know my rights when the insurance company started calling me. I am thankful that Nigel Stacey, Joe Stacey, Jim Jacobsen, and Alyta Loupe were able to help me.  They actually listened to me and understood what my family and I were going through and most of all they were there for us every step of the way. They started work on my case right away and went to trial to fight for me. I can stay in my home and start retraining for a new career.  I strongly recommend Stacey & Jacobsen to handle any maritime injury case. I’m grateful for everyone of them.

I experienced a life changing injury aboard a tugboat that ended my career on the water that I had worked so hard for. It took some time for the shock and realization of just how uncertain my future was and I needed professional guidance and counsel. I contacted Nigel Stacey. He was able to tell me right away exactly what my rights are. He also explained the process going forward which seemed incredibly daunting for someone who has never experienced anything in the legal system, but he was with me every step of the way to keep my headspace on course. Nigel and his team were incredible to work with. They were attentive to my thoughts and concerns, communicated thoroughly, and responded in a timely manner to calls and emails. Most importantly, Nigel fought on my behalf. I may not have a future in the maritime industry, however much of the stress of my future has been relieved and I am forever grateful.

Five bright gold stars forS tacey Jacobsen My case was not strong as no other case like mine had been to court before. Stacey Jacobsen navigated through uncharted waters to set a new precedence in court over blood pressure. I was made whole, and I received all of my jones act rights during this journey. Excellent work Stacey Jjacobsen . thank you all so much for your hard work and dedication to my case.

Joe took on my case without hesitation and won it without any doubt! I can not thank him and Alyta enough for leading the way in my case. They listened, they cared and never underestimated what I was going through. Communication was beyond exceptional. Incredibly friendly yet professional. I never felt overwhelmed or lost in the long process with them because they kept me updated every step of the way. I am forever grateful.

I have been a legal videographer for over 35 years and have had the unique opportunity to work closely with the lawyers at Stacey and Jacobson. They are not only the best maritime lawyers I have had the pleasure to work with but are also a couple of the nicest guys you may ever meet. Down to earth, straight from the heart, honest guys that will make you feel right at home in their office. They know maritime like a seasoned shipmate and they know the law even better. They are always professional, courteous, compassionate and hard working. If I had a maritime case, I would not hesitate to call them first. Trust me, you will not find a better advocate.

I have enjoyed working with Stacey and Jacobsen for many years as their court reporter. They are one of the most professional, compassionate, hardworking firms I have had the pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this experienced team to anyone needing assistance with maritime injury matters.

When my injury occurred, I was faced with depression and pains, plus confusion on which legal team to hire. Although, I was lucky to have tremendous support from my family and friends however, I consider myself so lucky to pick Stacey & Jacobsen, PLLC. It still feels like a dream, but it was real; immediately I called and spoke to Nigel about what happened to me and what my rights were.  He began working to help me immediately and made sure I understood and was okay with the process.  I am thankful that Nigel Stacey, Joe Stacey, and Jim Jacobsen were able to help me.  They actually listened to me and understood what I was going through. They started work on my case right away and I am pleased with the result.  I can stay in my home and start retraining for a new career.  I strongly recommend Stacey & Jacobsen, PLLC to handle any maritime injury case.” They are professional, intelligent and response to every question and calls effectively. I can never ask for better lawyers than this team. They got the job done quick, fast and easy without any discrimination.

They GET it

I was injured while working as a commercial fisherman. In addition to the physical drama, I was also put in the difficult position of having to decide whether to return to work after the accident or pursue legal aid. I ended up hiring Stacey and Jacobsen. While there are probably other capable other maritime lawyers in the Seattle area, both Joe and Jake were very good. They delivered the results that they anticipated. However, not being an expert on maritime law, I can't really describe how they acted as legal representatives. What I can attest to, more importantly, was that they treated me with respect the entire time. They were both very sympathetic to the fact that this was a stressful time for me, and never tried to convince me to do anything that I was uncomfortable with. They would lay all of my options with possible outcomes out on the table, and gave me as much information as possible for me to make a decision. They made an incredibly tough situation significantly more bearable. I would recommend them to anyone that was hurt while working at sea.

I love you
