Cruise ship rape attorney Jack Hickey used to work for the cruise lines

Compassion and Justice.

For Jack Hickey, the law is as much about compassion as it is about justice. You as the victim of a cruise ship assault should feel that there is someone fighting for you. You should have someone on your side who knows what you are going through and who is listening to you tell the facts and express your feelings. I have been the advocate for multiple victims of terrible cruise-related crimes for over a decade. I will understand. I offers hope whichcomes with a proven record of success.

Represented the Other Side

I started my career as a lawyer for the cruise lines, for the railroads, and for the insurance companies. After 17 years, I switched sides and for the past 11 years I have represented the victims of crime and negligence on cruise ships. This gives me a perspective from both sides.
