For over 40 years, Brett Rivkind has helped clients pursue maritime claims against negligent cruise ship companies, boat operators, and crew members. Attorney Rivkind has obtained record jury verdicts and arbitration awards, many in the millions of dollars. He has appeared on numerous television shows, had his cases covered in the national media, and is often consulted by other attorneys throughout the U.S. and abroad. Brett was also invited to speak to Congress and recognized by Congress as a maritime expert on cruise ship safety and security. The testimony was part of the Congressional Hearings on cruise ship safety and security. The Congressional Hearings were prompted by publicity surrounding the disappearance of George Smith IV on his honeymoon cruise. Brett Rivkind was hired by the Smith family to pursue a case against the cruise line. The case received lots of attention as many wanted explanations as to how a man could disappear off a cruise ship during his honeymoon, and why the current law was not protecting cruise ship passengers.
