About Jeffrey

Jeffrey D. Waltuck is currently employed as a pilot by US Airways, but he remains associated with MFP in an "Of Counsel" capacity, where he concentrates on aviation, commercial, and tort litigation.  Since joining MFP, Jeff has used his talents to defend pilots and airports from FAA certificate actions.  He has been an active participant in several significant cases involving aviation crashes, municipal and airport defense, employment claims, and business disputes.  Jeff's background enables him to also provide useful consulting services to our clients.

Prior to attending law school Jeff enjoyed a full career in aviation for over a decade.  From his beginnings as an aircraft fueler to his most recent position as Boeing 737 pilot for US Airways, Jeff has flown numerous private and commercial aircraft.  Jeff has earned aircraft type-ratings in both jet and smaller, turbo-prop aircraft.

After college, Jeff was Operations Supervisor for one of the nation's largest Fixed Base Operators (FBO's) where he was responsible for ramp operations for over 100 aircraft, including private, commercial and military planes and helicopters.

Jeff began flying passengers for commuter airlines and attained the position of Captain while flying for an airline based in Chicago at O'Hare International Airport.  He has attained the highest level of certification from the FAA, the Airline Transport Pilot's license.  He also holds a Flight Engineer certificate and has served in that capacity on both the DC-8 and the Boeing 727.

Throughout his career, Jeff has been associated with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), as well as having actively participated in his local unions including the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) and the Teamsters.  Jeff now continues his connection to aviation through the practice of law.

Jeff moved to Chicago in 1995 where he is happily settled with his wife and two sons.  He now resides in Palatine, Illinois.
