The lawyer, if it is the same Ronald Goldman, has been an lawyer since 1963, and specialized in aviation law since 1969. He is a partner in Baum, Hedlund, Aristei and Goldman. He has had many high profile cases, he even served on the Plaintiff's Executive Committee for the 9/11 cases. He was a layer on the Air Midwest 5481 crash in 2003.
He became a private pilot in 1980, not sure how many hours he has.
