Very Best Aviation Attorney in the Country

I have been flying for over 50 years, and have 25 plus type ratings and certificates. With that, myself and numerous other pilots have used Mr. LAMONACA for aviation related matters, and he is the very best in the country, never letting us down. Further, I have flown Joe all over the world and he is ...an excellent, talented, professional pilot. Call me for any additional information about this excellent aviation attorney and professional pilot. Clark

Best Aviation Attorney on the United States

I have been flying for over 40 years and have both worked with Joe at Flight Safety International, and flown with Joe all over the world. He is a highly respected professional pilot and attorney, and is recommended by myself and other leaders in the aviation industry.

Fantastic Aviation Lawyer

Look no further than Mr. LaMonaca because he delivers the highest quality representation in an area of the law where it pays dividends to have the best aviation attorney.

Over Charging Attorney

Mr. Lamonnaca work on my case for less than thirty days, the price for service I was assured which was 4-8 thousand ended up beening $26,000.00. I was not informed of this amount of fees until after he lost my case and sent me to collections ruining my credit score. DO NOT TRUST THIS ATTORNEY.

Replied last September 25, 2020

Although I will not discuss the specifics about this clients case, rest assured he was well informed about all costs snd expenses, which included a full NTSB Hearing in Washington, DC, where the client failed to pay any expenses, and a full Emergency Appeal with Briefs to the full Board. He was given a comprehensive fee agreement, and was invoiced bi-weekly.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
