Marcus Spagnoletti

Marcus Spagnoletti is an attorney at Spagnoletti Law Firm, a Houston practice that has been named Maritime Personal Injury Law Firm of the Year in Texas, US at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. The award recognises a firm with a strong reputation for representing injured maritime workers and other personal injury victims along the Gulf Coast and beyond.

Based in the heart of Houston, Spagnoletti Law Firm concentrates on personal injury and maritime law, providing legal representation to injury victims and, in the most serious cases, to the families of those who have died. Its maritime practice addresses the distinctive body of law that governs work at sea and offshore, with a proven track record in disputes involving Jones Act seamen and injuries or fatalities occurring on lift boats, jack-ups, semi-submersibles and offshore platforms. The firm also handles a broader range of accident, wrongful death and aviation matters.

Mr. Spagnoletti graduated magna cum laude from the University of Southern California and, three years later, from the University of Miami School of Law. He is licensed to practise in both Texas and Florida, and his standing in the profession has been publicly acknowledged; he was featured in The New York Times as a 2019 "Power Lawyer". His work centres on the maritime and personal injury cases for which the firm is known.

Maritime personal injury is a specialised and technically demanding field. It is governed by federal statutes and doctrines such as the Jones Act and general maritime law, which provide particular protections and remedies for seamen and offshore workers that differ markedly from ordinary state personal injury law. Litigating these cases requires an understanding of vessel operations, offshore drilling and the industrial environment of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as the medical and economic consequences of catastrophic injury. Spagnoletti Law Firm's focus on Jones Act claims and offshore incidents reflects exactly this expertise.

The firm's location in Houston places it at the centre of the energy and maritime industries that dominate the Texas Gulf Coast, close to the offshore operations and workforce from which many of its cases arise. That proximity, combined with its concentration on maritime and personal injury work, allows it to serve injured workers and their families with focused, experienced representation against well-resourced corporate and insurance defendants.

The recognition of Spagnoletti Law Firm as Maritime Personal Injury Law Firm of the Year in Texas, US at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025, with Mr. Spagnoletti among its attorneys, affirms the firm's standing in this demanding practice area. For maritime workers and personal injury victims across Texas and the wider Gulf Coast, the firm offers dedicated advocacy grounded in a strong record of resolving complex maritime disputes.
