A Houston seafood company that suffered losses as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is seeking more than $2 million from Merlin Law Group and lawyer Sean Shaw in a legal malpractice suit alleging the defendants mishandled its oil spill claim.

Ocean Harvest Wholesale alleges Tampa-based Merlin Law Group and Shaw failed to notify it of a deadline in 2012 to accept a $2.8 million payment from the Gulf Coast Claim Fund. Its failure to act resulted in it losing out on the money, the company said.
