WELCOME

 

Since its founding in March 2001, Alimonti Law Offices, PC, (ALO) has focused its practice on serving the litigation needs of the aviation community. Since then, ALO has grown from a “one man shop” to an internationally recognized team of lawyers and consultants. Our worldwide clients including airlines, flight schools, fixed base operators, manufacturers, repair stations, charter operators, and their respective insurers.

Our litigation experience has led to “instructions” as consultants and lecturers on claim prevention and product integrity as well as numerous aviation-related transactions. Our approach is simple: find common solutions to common problems - even in an “adversarial process”. Our reputation for zealous representation, candor, and the highest ethical standards enables us to efficiently manage the most difficult and emotional claims. Founder Rick Alimonti is currently is serving as co-chair of the American Bar Association’s (Section of Litigation) Standing Committee on Aviation Litigation. He is the first person to twice be honored with this appointment. He is the founder of this committee’s June CLE conference in New York, now entering its thirteenth year.

OUR APPROACH


Lawyers Who Listen
At Alimonti Law Offices, we believe that superior legal representation requires a dialogue between client and lawyer. Legal services that do not account for and serve the particular needs of the client are really of no service at all. We strive to become not just a service but genuine partners with our clients. We pride ourselves in our reputation for responsiveness, hard work, and integrity, which we believe is appreciated by our clients and respected by our adversaries.

For more information on our approach to law, see our
CLIENT PLEDGE.

ALO is pleased to report on two recent successes on behalf of its clients in the form of two recent summary judgment rulings:

Whitney v. JetBlue, EDNY 2009. ALO recently obtained summary judgment on behalf of JetBlue Airways on the ground that plaintiff’s claim that a flight attendant failed to timely intervene during an altercation with a fellow passenger were preempted by the Airline Deregulation Act. The Plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal.

In Pellechia v. Empire Air, Supreme Court, Suffolk County NY 2009, ALO successfully moved for summary judgment based upon plaintiff’s complaint that he fell off a defective air stair while deplaning a jetstream aircraft. The Court held that plaintiff had not established a defective condition or that the operator was on notice of any defective condition. The Court also declined to consider “expert” testimony from an engineer lacking experience with aircraft and their exits.
