As a licensed commercial pilot, Justin brings first-hand knowledge to his cases.

Justin provides his insight and experience as one of the annual editors of the preeminent publication on the subject, Aviation Accident Law (Kreindler, Lexis/Nexis). Additionally, Justin frequently authors articles explaining legal issues surrounding aviation accidents and precedent-setting cases. In his article Recent Developments Relating to GARA, Justin notes an important concept that the General Aviation Revitalization Act “is not an insurmountable defense and it is in the public interest to hold manufacturers responsible for dangerous products. It is particularly in the public interest to bring to light any misrepresentations that a manufacturer made to the FAA. Unfortunately, plaintiffs’ lawyers are often the only ones willing or able to shed light on this corporate malfeasance.”
Justin is a Past President of the International Air & Transportation Safety Bar Association (IATSBA) and is Vice-Chair of the American Bar Association’s Torts and Insurance Practice’s (TIPS) Aviation Section.
