New Orleans maritime attorneys, and members of Galloway’s Longshore team in Louisiana, have been featured as the Face of Maritime Law by New Orleans Magazine in its May 2025 issue. Kathleen Charvet, Heather Angelico, Francis Waguespack, and Bobbi Roquemore represent the maritime expertise and experience that Galloway provides in port cities along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.
The four New Orleans based attorneys bring their collective experience to the Firm’s Longshore, offshore, and Defense Base Act representation, in addition to their traditional maritime representation. Partnering with Longshore clients requires national and international scope with adept logistical balancing.
As mentioned in New Orleans Magazine, Kathleen, Heather, Francis, and Bobbi are part of a select group of Longshore attorneys who began their legal careers as clerks for the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Administrative Law Judges. This unique experience has propelled them into work around the globe and offered them the opportunity to present on maritime and Longshore topics for continuing education offered by Tulane University and Loyola University New Orleans.
