Two colleagues in the legal community who fight for justice for the victims of asbestos exposure were killed this week, when their plane crashed in Mayfield Village, Ohio, on Tuesday, April 28. Michael Doran, 51, of Doran & Murphy law firm in Buffalo, New York, and 26-year-old firm associate Matthew Schnirel were killed when the plane piloted by Mr. Doran crashed shortly after takeoff from Cuyahoga County Airport in Cleveland, Ohio.

According to an ongoing investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), both Doran and Schnirel were experienced pilots. A report of the accident by JusticeNewsFlash.com says area residents credited the attorney pilots with steering the plane, a Cirrus SR22 single engine, away from a residential area prior to the crash.

The firm of Doran & Murphy handles cases of mesothelioma cancer injury, as well as other personal injury. Michael Doran had been practicing law for more than 25 years.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families, co-workers and colleagues of these professionals.
