We represent online retailers located in the United States and abroad when they are hailed into court in the Northern District of Illinois. More than 90% of TM infringement cases are filed in Illinois, and these cases can cause the restraint of millions of dollars (US), sometimes without any legal justification. Bottom line: we know the judges, and they know us!
We represent more than 7,500 pilots at more than 14 international airlines and individual crew members affected by the inevitable grounding of the of Boeing 737 Max caused by Boeing's knowingly fraudulent representations regarding the safety of the MAX. Boeing knew for years that the MAX contained new software that could cause the planes to nosedive into the ground killing all passengers and crew onboard. In an effort to sell more planes, however, Boeing concealed that information from Boeing-trained pilots and even its own pilot trainers and engineers so that it could achieve FAA certification and make profits. Boeing's lies led to the grounding of the MAX and destroyed careers and families; we aim to ensure that it will never happen again.

On Nov. 30, 2020, PMJ PLLC and its partner IAL&PL Ltd. filed a Complaint in Cook County, IL against The Boeing Company and parts manufacturer Honeywell International Inc. on behalf of a pilots who suffered two air cabin toxicity events caused by Boeing's faulty "bleed air" system, which released neurotoxic chemicals such as tricresyl phosphate into the plane's cockpit. Incredibly, Boeing has been aware of this design flaw for decades and has refused to do anything about it because it would increase the cost of maintenance. "Sadly, I think we are looking for a tombstone before anyone [at Boeing] with any horsepower is going to take an interest," one Boeing engineer told his colleagues back in 2007. Thankfully, our client survived the event but his career and health have been significantly impaired. Several similar "fumes event" cases are currently pending in Illinois courts as more pilots have been willing to come forward and combat this decades-old, and potentially-lethal, design flaw.
