Firm Overview
The law firm of Clinton & Muzyka, P.C. is a maritime defense firm servicing clients internationally and in the New England area. Since opening in 1984, we have represented clients in diverse areas of maritime defense, specializing in marine protection and indemnity insurance.
Our attorneys are admitted to practice law in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Washington and other states on a Pro Hac Vice basis. The firm is comprised of Thomas J. Muzyka and Thomas E. Clinton as partners. Associated with the firm are Robert E. Collins, Terence G. Kenneally, Olaf Aprans, and Kirby L. Aarsheim. Our former partner, Arthur P. Skarmeas, assists on specific cases on an Of Counsel basis.
Our firm's practice initially concentrated in civil maritime litigation defense and vessel owner maritime assistance. The scope of our practice expanded to include tort litigation, commercial litigation matters, and all aspects of insurance defense, including but not limited to, personal injury defense, worker's compensation, subrogation recovery, product liability, labor agreements, OSHA related cases, and insurance coverage matters.
In the past several years, the maritime and insurance industries have experienced the severe impact of increasing defense costs. Moreover, local litigation awards have dramatically increased together with interest and costs to further aggravate this financial condition. In reaction to these circumstances, we have implemented an affordable and diversified approach to the already established methods of handling maritime and insurance claims.
We look forward to the opportunity of providing you with quality work at a reasonable rate in maritime and general insurance defense litigation as well as commercial litigation.
