Lira was a long-time attorney at Girardi's now-defunct law firm and helped obtain a historic $7.5-million payout for a group of Indonesian widows and orphans in 2020. After Lion Air Flight 610 crashed into the Java Sea, killing all 189 people on board, Girardi and Lira's lawsuit held Boeing accountable for the 737 Max's faulty design and the company's failure to properly disclose problems with the aircraft's automated flight-control system.

Girardi, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, was sentenced to seven years and three months in federal prison after being convicted of four counts of wire fraud.
