Testimonials

"I have been working as shrimper for several years. Because of the BP Oil Spill, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration closed the areas of the Gulf of Mexico where I usually shrimp.

Several members of my crew made Oil Pollution Act wage loss claims against BP. BP denied their claims and most still haven't received a check. Instead of handling my Oil Pollution Act claim on my own, I hired attorney Charles E. Lavis Jr to pursue the claim.

Mr. Lavis and his staff assisted me in gathering together documents for proving my claim and presented the claim to BP for payment. My first check arrived less than thirty days from the date I hired Mr. Lavis. I was not required to sign any BP settlement documents. I would recommend Mr. Lavis to anyone who is having trouble with his BP Oil Spill claim."

"I am a small business owner and my landscaping, fence building, drainage and concrete work business was directly affected by the BP Oil Spill. I filed my Oil Pollution Act claim directly with BP early on and got no response. I became discouraged from all of the talk and news stories of people who had lots of difficulty with the claims process. I hired Mr. Lavis on March 28, 2011. About a week later, Mr Lavis finished preparing the claim with all of the necessary paperwork and presented the claim to the Gulf Coast Claims Facility. Just two months after hiring Mr. Lavis, BP made me a fair and final settlement offer. I would recommend Mr. Lavis to anyone who has a BP Oil Spill Claim."
