Speiser Krause is pleased to announce that Richard E. Genter is now of counsel to the firm. For more than forty years, Richard has litigated complex aviation cases in numerous federal and state courts, both at the trial and appellate level. Formerly a member of the Philadelphia, PA based firm, Wolk & Genter, specializing in aviation accident litigation, Richard opened his own practice in 2004, where he has successfully litigated scores of general aviation accident cases on behalf of victims who have been catastrophically injured or killed in air crashes caused by defective products supplied or manufactured by airframe, engine and component part manufacturers, as well as accidents caused by the negligence of maintenance facilities, aircraft owners and operators, and air traffic controllers.
Richard is a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University and The Temple University Law School and is admitted to practice in the state courts of Pennsylvania and in the United States District Courts for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the District of Colorado, as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Third and Ninth Circuits. He is also admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. Richard is listed in the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers in Aviation Law, holding their highest (AV) rating and is routinely named as a Super Lawyer in Aviation and Aerospace Law.
The attorneys of Speiser Krause have had the privilege of calling Richard a friend and colleague in the field of aviation law for decades and have always had tremendous respect for his work. We are thrilled to have him join our team and know that he will be an invaluable asset to the families we represent.
