Speiser Krause was founded in New York over sixty years ago by Stuart Speiser, one of the nation's first attorneys to specialize in the field of aviation litigation. In 1955 our firm earned the prestigious "AV" rating from Martindale-Hubbell, a distinction we have retained ever since. Speiser Krause has focused its practice over the years primarily in the area of aviation law, specifically, wrongful death and serious personal injury.
As Speiser Krause worked to shape the manner in which airline disasters would be litigated, the firm quickly became the leading light in aviation wrongful death litigation, breaking ground in products liability, warranty law, negligence per se as it applies to aviation regulations, the doctrine of res ipsa loquitor, the Death on the High Seas Act, and helping shape recovery under the Warsaw Convention and its subsequent international agreements and treaties.

Speiser Krause, one of the oldest plaintiffs' aviation law firms in the country, celebrates more than 60 years of experience in aviation litigation. The firm was founded by Stuart M. Speiser, after his return from World War II, with a vision of achieving social justice in the representation of tort victims, empowering the individual to effect change against powerful corporations.
Speiser Krause has a long, successful record in recovering for plaintiffs. In 1965, when aviation litigation was still in its infancy, we won our first million-dollar verdict - then an unprecedented amount - in a lawsuit against American Airlines. We have continued to obtain for our clients high verdicts and settlements in disaster, medical malpractice and other personal injury and wrongful death cases.
I say "technically closed" for it's actually not closed, for we both feel that Jeanne O'Grady is part of the family." Note to Ken Nolan and Jeanne O'Grady from the family of a young father killed in a motor vehicle accident. As I've thought about this note, I've been stymied by the lack of words that will tell you how deeply grateful I am to the Granito Team.
For decades the firm has specialized in the representation of victims and their families arising from general aviation accidents, and members of the firm have developed a unique capability in this specialized area of the law.
A lawsuit arising from the general aviation accident presents complicated questions of fact and law ranging from the cause or causes of the crash, choice of law issues which impact both liability and damages, implication of federal statutes and regulations which will undoubtedly affect the litigation, as well as a host of other issues.
