ABC Night Line did a story on the case of Nathan Smith v. The Abandoned Vessel. The firm represented Smith, who asserted the right to own and salvage a lost treasure ship from the 1700's. After a bench trial, the federal district court determined that the ship was located in navigable waters of the United States and had been abandoned. In their report on the case, ABC kindly referred to Schwartz, Junell, Greenberg & Oathout, LLP as one of the most prestigious law firms in Houston, Texas.
