Knowledge & Experience

Serving the Maritime and Transportation Industries since 1993.

In January 1993 the law firm of FLYNN, DELICH & WISE LLP was formed by Erich P. Wise, James B. Nebel, Nicholas S. Politis and the late John A. Flynn and Sam D. Delich.  Each had formerly been a partner of the law firm of Graham & James, an international firm with 300-plus partners in offices worldwide.

The founders of FLYNN, DELICH & WISE LLP shared a common goal of providing high quality, results-driven legal services to our clients at reasonable rates.  We believed that realization of our goal could best be achieved in a smaller, more flexible partnership.  After more than 32 years of operation, we have demonstrated our ability to achieve this goal, and we remain committed to it as we move forward.

In 2010, Lisa M. Conner joined the firm as a partner with a wealth of maritime experience.  She brought new practice areas to the partnership, with her experience as a litigator and defense counsel for federal Longshore and Harbor Worker’s Compensation claims, subrogation issues, ship repair and construction claims, Jones Act and passenger injury claims, ADA issues and wrongful death claims.

FLYNN, DELICH & WISE LLP prides itself in understanding our clients’ businesses and being able to respond swiftly and effectively to their needs.  We are dedicated to providing prompt assistance in close coordination with clients on all services we undertake to perform.  Our lawyers and legal support personnel in all our offices work together as one efficient firm.

With offices in San Francisco and Long Beach, California, and Seattle, Washington, FLYNN, DELICH & WISE LLP is able to serve its clients throughout California and the West Coast, as well as other parts of the United States. Our attorneys are licensed in California, Washington and Florida.
