Ending an Unjust Nightmare for my Family

Hi, my name is Logan and most know me as an insanely energetic ambassador of aviation. It hasn’t just been my living, but also my way to mentor and inspire men and women of all ages, races and orientations to achieve their dreams of flight. I worked very hard and sacrificed nearly waking hour to build an outstanding reputation and a respectable company. Everywhere I went, I made a positive imprint on those I met and they learned and loved the aircraft I brought.

In 2021, I started having issues with a client, who was also a corporate attorney, who was helping with dealings in trade for work on his airplane. During said time, he created many headaches as he interfered with my company, but nothing as big as his filing a frivolous lawsuit for $54,000 claiming a debt due. During that time, he used this as a reason, while standing on the grounds of being my former attorney, to contact nearly anyone who would listen to him making false and outrageous allegations. Before I knew it, I had almost no clients to keep the lights on. I sold my house and many other things trying to ride out the storm but, in 2022 I had to close my doors, find other employment and walk away from my life’s accomplishments.

In 2023, he proceeded to contact event coordinators claiming I was “suicidal, homicidal and would crash my aircraft into crowds”. Because of this, I was asked to not participate in our yearly formation clinic because he *might* be there and they didn’t want issues. All of this was in attempt to get me to buckle and give into his demands. Finally, in July of 2023 his lawsuit went to trial. The court did not find he was entitled to $54,000 nor find his claims credible. But, doesn’t matter. Damage was already done. The courts said I owed him some money for work outside the trade, which made complete sense. I proceeded to send him payments for that.

Following his loss, he was involved in filing a false FAA complaint claiming the same exact thing he had kept saying. I had to literally submit every single medical record, driving record, anything from the VA (there isn’t anything there btw), background checks and tons of letters of recommendation to prove that his claim was false. More money out of my pocket. Luckily, the Feds read everything and deemed the complaint empty. During all of this, the State Bar is attempting to investigate him and possibly take action against his license. Problem is, it keeps getting deferred by litigation.

Recently, he decided to refuse any further payments and demanded all money up front which I believe is also in retaliation. He used the system to obtain an order and now I’m in a situation where I have to pay him everything or else he will go after things, financial things directly affecting my family, garnishments, etc. Worse- if I say no, I get held in contempt and thrown in jail. I currently live paycheck to paycheck- this is catastrophic.

All I have left is my two airplanes that I worked so hard for. Two very rare, very specialized and very special aircraft. Problem is, they are so specialized that they are hard to sell because not just anyone can fly either. Not like I can afford to fly them currently, but still. I’ve lost or sold everything else in my life and now forced to try to sell them to pay a debt. Trying to get side work is hard and nearly impossible because his range of influence is wide and there’s a fear he will interfere further. And, when I do have time for side work, I’m stuck doing legal papers to save me and what little I have left. We live paycheck to paycheck, esp after a loss of a car that now requires car payments. We have no savings. We have no investments. We are exhausted and worn out from all of this and it’s time to tap out.

Id rather sell the last thing I have to show for nearly 40 years on this planet before asking for help, but I’ve been convinced by some people to do this. It’s embarrassing and reminds me how much I’ve lost by standing for what is right. However, by paying him off the judgement, all that is left is to wait for the state bar to hopefully do something. If not, at least he has nothing left to “justify” his actions. It allows me and my family the first breath of relief in years so we can hopefully move forward in life, save what legacy is left and hope for justice.

So, that’s it. I’m on the hook for 10k to someone who has verifiably ruined my life with no payment options. If I refuse, it gets really bad. I know everyone’s in a tight spot these days, but yeah… hope at least one sells quickly or else.

If I’ve ever made you smile, laugh, be inspired or brought joy to you, please consider helping me out. Losing “my kids” has had me heart broken and it’s just plain wrong. Further, exposing my family to any further terror or heartache from this is unacceptable.

Thank you.

Very humbly,

Logan
