Brais Brais & Rusak brings more than 80 years of combined trial experience to cases we handle on our clients' behalf. Twenty-eight (28) of those years are with attorneys who are Board Certified in the field of Admiralty and Maritime Law. Our experience includes state, federal and appellate courts. We have vast experience litigating with large corporations. Many maritime claims are unique and not only require impeccable legal credentials, but also real world experience. Keith Brais graduated from a Merchant Marine Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Engineering, sailed as a merchant mariner, acquired three U.S. Coast Guard licenses, and worked on every known type of off-shore oil drilling rig from 1981 to 1987. There is likely no attorney, not to mention board certified maritime attorney, with more real world experience than Keith Brais, and no one with a better understanding of the dangers associated with working in the marine offshore industry.
