Maritime Lien Lawyers Protecting Rights Along the Texas Coast

Maritime liens are some of the most powerful remedies in admiralty law, giving creditors, injured seamen, and service providers the ability to enforce claims directly against vessels. At Gilman & Allison, LLP, our Texas maritime lien lawyers represent clients in both the Southern District of Texas (Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi) and the Eastern District of Texas (Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange, Sabine Pass).

If you are a seaman seeking unpaid wages, a longshoreman with an injury judgment, a shipyard owed for repairs, or a supplier of fuel and provisions, you may have lien rights against a vessel. Our attorneys act quickly to preserve, file, and enforce liens before they expire, ensuring you don’t lose your claim. From the Houston Ship Channel to the Sabine-Neches Waterway, we are trusted by maritime workers and businesses across the Texas Gulf Coast.

Vessel Arrests, Foreclosures, and Lien Defense in Texas Federal Courts

When a lien goes unpaid, admiralty law allows creditors to arrest vessels in federal court to secure payment. Our attorneys are highly experienced in filing in rem actions under the Supplemental Admiralty Rules, pursuing vessel arrests and judicial sales in the Southern and Eastern Districts of Texas.

We represent both creditors and vessel owners in lien disputes involving barges, tankers, offshore supply vessels, cargo ships, and tugboats. Whether in Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, Beaumont, or Port Arthur, our team has the trial experience to handle lien foreclosures, vessel arrests, and lien defense.
