We have some unfortunate news to report out of the Houston, Texas, legal community, in the wake of a tragic plane crash linked to successful plaintiff’s firm Arnold & Itkin.
According to news reports, the firm’s plane, traveling from Houston to Paris, stopped in Bangor, Maine, to refuel, but crashed during an attempted takeoff. According to the local police department, “all on the flight are presumed to be deceased.” The firm’s founders, Kurt Arnold and Jason Itkin, were not on the plane. Although investigators have yet to release the names of the victims, sources have confirmed that Tulane Law graduate Tara Arnold, wife of Kurt Arnold, has passed away. WMTW ABC 8 has additional details:
“I am close friends with Kurt and Tara Arnold,” said Lesley Briones, Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner. “My heart hurts for them and their children and their families. I worked at Arnold & Itkin for a time and so I know them well. This is just a tragedy and in particular Tara, she is just a phenomenal person, a bold leader and somebody who had a heart of service.”
