Admiralty & Maritime · Long Beach
State-of-the-art technology and cost-effective methods enable us to provide services in an efficient, client-focused manner that gets results.
About Our Firm
The Long Beach law firm of Russell Mirkovich & Morrow was founded 30 years ago to serve the needs of individual and business clients in counties along the California coast — specifically for our clients’ interests in maritime matters, real estate objectives, commercial litigation issues and international trade goals. Our accomplished team of attorneys always maintains the strictest professional and personal ethics, and is committed to meeting your short- and long-term goals.
What We Handle
From the docks of the Port of Long Beach to federal and state courtrooms across California, our attorneys handle the matters that keep coastal businesses and the people who work for them moving.
Jones Act claims, LHWCA longshore benefits, vessel collisions, cargo loss and charter disputes. We know the difference between a seaman, a longshore worker and a harbor employee — and why that distinction often decides the case.
Learn More
Trucking, rail, intermodal and cargo matters moving through the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. We represent carriers, shippers and brokers — and the people injured when a load goes wrong.
Learn More
Entity formation, commercial contracts, real estate acquisitions and international trade agreements. Practical counsel that closes the deal and holds up if it is ever tested.
Learn More
Commercial disputes handled in California state and federal court. Thorough preparation, candid assessments, and a willingness to try the case when settling is not the right answer.

Read MoreMaritime claims can land in either forum, and the choice matters enormously. We are prepared to litigate in whichever one serves your case.

“I was hurt at the Port and had no idea that the Jones Act and the LHWCA created very different rights depending on exactly how the injury happened. The vessel owner’s legal team did. Russell Mirkovich & Morrow knew just as much — and more. They identified the right legal theory immediately, moved fast to preserve critical evidence before it disappeared, and went up against a major maritime operator without flinching. The result they achieved gave my family real long-term security. In Long Beach, for any serious port or maritime injury, there is no better firm to call.
