Douglas Thomas Moore represents injured seamen, harbor workers, and overseas contractors — personally, from Honolulu, across the Pacific.
Six chapters of admiralty practice.
Jones Act
Negligence, unseaworthiness, maintenance and cure for the crew of vessels in navigation.
Longshore Act
Federal compensation for longshoremen, ship-repairers, and harbor workers.
Defense Base Act
Civilian contractors injured supporting overseas United States military operations.
Death on the High Seas
Wrongful death claims arising on navigable waters beyond three nautical miles.
Cargo & Vessel
Cargo loss, charter parties, vessel collision, and admiralty disputes.
Personal Injury
Catastrophic injury and wrongful death across the Hawaiian Islands.
A career spent in theclose company of mariners.
Doug founded the firm in 2001 with a single conviction: the workers who keep our harbors moving deserve advocates who actually understand the work.
Twenty-five years later, that conviction holds. He still walks the docks. He still answers his own phone.
Lisa Wimberly Moore
Lisa works alongside Doug as the firm’s consultant — guiding client intake, case strategy, and the day-to-day rhythm that keeps a one-attorney practice steady on every matter.
When the worst happens at sea.
Falling on a wet deck
Struck by cargo or gear
Injured aboard a fishing vessel
Hurt on overseas contract
Two ships, one impact
Burns, falls, machinery
Said about Doug.
Doug fought for my family when no one else would listen. He treated us like neighbors, not case files.
After my accident on the boat I was lost. He explained everything plainly and got me what I was owed.
Knowledgeable, relentless, and human. The man you want when the worst happens at sea.
Tell Doug what happened.He'll listen first.
