Mr. Peloquin’s litigation practice emphasized traditional areas of admiralty practice involving allision and collision, arrest and attachment, bankruptcy and creditor’s rights, cargo, casualty and insurance defense, foreclosure, maritime liens, pollution, possesory actions, salvage, and surety claims.
