Speakers: Joe Jaworski

Joe Jaworski 

Joe Jaworski is a third-generation Texas trial attorney and former Mayor of Galveston, Texas. Joe’s term as mayor was defined by his unwavering support for and success in rebuilding Galveston’s storm-devastated public housing into a first class mixed income development; a political choice that made a positive difference for thousands of Island residents.

Joe earned his bachelor’s from North Carolina’s Davidson College and his law degree from the University of Texas at Austin. In between college and law school, Joe played drums for four years in a national touring and recording band - North Carolina’s “Other Bright Colors.” The band “retired” before CD’s were commercially available, but in a masterpiece of revival the bands’ two albums are now available on Spotify and Apple iTunes.

In 2025 he enters his thirty-fourth year of practice, a career that began as law clerk to United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit Judge John R. Brown, followed by a robust Admiralty defense trial practice representing Gulf Coast maritime interests and then, an intense plaintiff’s trial practice representing injured maritime workers. From these various career experiences he finally found his niche.

Joe owns The Jaworski Law Firm, headquartered in Galveston, and his practice is 100% mediation. He specializes in mediating Defense Base Act claims, mediating hundreds of claims annually, domestically and abroad; these are the claims brought by military contractors for personal injuries arising from the War on Terror and other global zones of special danger.

Joe ran in the 2022 Texas Democratic Primary to serve as Texas Attorney General. His campaign website is www.JaworskiForTexas.com, and he keeps that site current as he considers another run in 2026.

Joe and his wife Rebecca have two children and live in Galveston.
