A: Your question might be beyond the scope of this Q & A forum - that could be why it remained open for three weeks. I'm sorry for your difficult position with the loss of the license. This is a very narrow area of law; there are attorneys out there who handle commercial fishing license matters. But they are few and far between. You could search online and additionally check the classified ad sections of commercial fishing publications. A good number of them are online. Unfortunately, most maritime attorneys who deal with Jones Act and other vessel-related matters do not handle permitting. There could be other possible leads you hopefully come across in commercial fishing journals, such as cooperatives and associations. It's possible their members might know of legal resources through word of mouth. Commercial fishermen do seek out need legal assistance in this area, and hopefully through word of mouth or advertisement, you could locate legal assistance. Good luck
