MIAMI, FL--(Marketwire - March 22, 2010) - The International Seafarer's Association (ISA) has recognized Lipcon, Margulies and Alsina, P.A., for the work that this Miami-based maritime law firm has done on behalf of ISA members as well as seafarers everywhere.
ISA cited its appreciation for the legal advice and assistance that Lipcon has provided throughout the last decade to help protect the rights of injured seafarers who otherwise would have been at the mercy of unscrupulous employers from various shipping companies.
According to ISA, Lipcon was instrumental in providing legal protection as well as solutions for seafarers who were dismissed after they became ill or injured while on board, and then were signed off the vessel without opportunities to return to their work. Often these seafarers were also repatriated back to their home countries without money for travel expenses.
In a letter to Charles Lipcon, the president of the International Seafarer's Association expressed his appreciation:
"Thanks to your firm, injured seafarers and crewmembers obtained compensation that should help them open new windows of opportunity in their home countries, now that the positions they initially had with the shipping companies are no longer available due to their present physical conditions. Based on the work that you and your firm has done, we are declaring publicly that Lipcon, Margulies and Alsina is being awarded recognition as the Top Law Firm Protecting Seafarer's Rights in the United States for the year 2009."
