Hired Attorney

During our case, Mr. Chait was asked to schedule the deposition for the defendant multiple times. We filed the case as a result of our former aircraft management company was not performing maintenance to the aircraft but collecting the money for the scheduled maintenance tasks. The defendant was rather deferring the inspections without notification to the lessee (Plaintiff). The management company deposition was essential to our case and Mr. Chait missed the deadline for the deposition. Even so, the defendant's counsel was less than 11 miles away from Mr. Chait's office. We feel this deposition was intentionally missed for unknows reasons at this point. What was the point of the case without the deposition of the management company contractually responsible for the maintenance of our aircraft.

Hired Attorney

Chait’s representation was weak and negligent at best, or legal malpractice at worst. He was provided more than enough information to effectively and aggressively litigate this case. As a result of collateral actions, we engaged in to develop a defense charter certificate holder Paradigm Jet Management, and several pilot and mechanic employees are now involved in FAA enforcement actions pursuant to an investigation conducted by the Dept. of Transportation Office of the Inspector General.
