I fell on a cruise ship, and was denied by 3 other law firms until someone recommended me to Hickey. They honestly heard my case and without giving me any false hope took the case. They were very diligent and communicative throughout the process. I ended up getting a great settlement (enough to pay medical bills and a little extra on top). I highly recommend going to Hickey if you have any cruise ship accidents or issues. They will treat you right and do the work to get you what you deserve.

Iam in a different state and that had no bearing. I received outstanding attention with a wonderful outcome.

The law firm of John Hickey at 1401 Brickwell Avenue, Suite 510 Miami, Florida handled my case against Norwegian Cruise Line in a very professional manner.
Lisa, Thalia and staff were always available to help with my questions and acted in a timely fashion.
I would recommend this firm and use them again if the situation presents itself.

From the day we all met on Zoom I knew it would all be a great experience. The team always kept me inform, they were compassionate about how I felt from the beginning, making me feel like part of the family. If there was something I didn't understand Sarah Lobel would take the time to explain. I could not have asked for a better team especially when the team was brought in at the last minuet, they were right on top of everything. If ever anyone needs legal assistance in Miami I definitely will recommend the team. I Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being there and believing we would have a good outcome. Thank you Jack, Sarah, Dolores, Nisi and all the others who were involved.

The ladies I worked with at Hickey Law firm were all so wonderful. Thank you Lisa C. Goodman, Thalia Lantigua and Isis Rebull for working so hard on my case and always keeping me informed.
I wouldnt hesitate for a minute to refer Hickey Law Firm to anyone.no mater what state they live in. They are based in Miami and I live in AZ so I worried it would be more difficult.
Not at all, they handled things as if I was there in Miami with them.

Jack Hickey and his team are incredible. I am an Attorney in New Jersey but have sent several clients with serious cases to Jack over the years. He and his staff take great care of their clients. Thankfully, I asked Jack to take over a case where a father of a young child died while on vacation. Jack sued those we believed were negligent and obtained an excellent settlement for the family. His skill helped secure the child's financial future. Just as importantly, he brings compassionate care to his clients, listens to their needs and helps every step of the way. Jack's knowledge of maritime and cruise ship cases is surpassed by no one. I highly recommend that you trust Jack Hickey with any serious personal injury matter of any kind. John Burke

I have been a client of Jack Hickey 15 years ago. He represented me with the utmost professionalism starting with the first conversation at his office . Jack Hickey is not just a brilliant attorney you want to have in your corner, he is deeply caring for his client with empathy. During the entire case you know he will work on your case for the best possible outcome. There is never any doubt and he frees your mind from worrying over it.
But there is more to Jack Hickey. When my case was settled he still checked in to see how things were going. Fast froward 15 years later I had a question and send him an email .He responded promptly with some unbiased advise.
Five stars are not good enough - it should be five diamonds for Jack Hickey!
The same goes for his team. Everyone you talked to you experienced genuine care, concern and professionalism. You never felt like "just another case". And when you are injured that matters a lot to you.

Not only did the Hickey Law Firm treat my case with importance, they treated me with dignity. Their expertise and professionalism was beyond any of my expectations. Seeking an attorney will never be at a peak and positive moment in life, however, the Hickey Law Firm left me secure in the knowledge that my voice was heard. That I was worthy of representation and given so with integrity. I can neverer praise or thank them enough.
