Craig Liszt

Lipcon, Margulies & Winkleman, P.A
Having spent 15 years defending cruise lines and vessel owners, I know how they think and how they defend cases. This gives me an advantage in helping our clients win their cases.

Craig Liszt is a seasoned trial attorney. Prior to joining Lipcon, Margulies & Winkleman, P.A., Mr. Liszt specialized in defending maritime claims since his second year of law school, giving him a unique advantage representing accident victims under maritime law. Mr. Liszt spent 15 years working as outside counsel for almost every major cruise line, as well as yacht owners, shipping companies, commercial ship owners, and marine businesses, so he is intimately familiar with how cruise lines – and their attorneys – defend their cases. As a skilled trial attorney, Mr. Liszt has tried numerous cases in state and federal courts. He is also experienced in the use of alternative dispute techniques, including international arbitration and mediation.

Mr. Liszt graduated cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law in 2008. He is licensed to practice in all Florida state courts, the U.S. District Courts for the Southern, Middle, and Northern Districts of Florida, as well as the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

As an avid boat owner and life-long fisherman, Mr. Liszt’s love of the sea drove him to pursue a career in admiralty and maritime law. While in law school, Mr. Liszt began as a law clerk for a Miami-based maritime defense firm, and since then, Mr. Liszt’s practice has been exclusively dedicated to admiralty and maritime law claims.
