A Team Approach to Your Case

We take a team approach to plane crash cases. In addition to our own experienced group of lawyers, we enlist leading pilots, flight instructors, aeronautical engineers, accident reconstructionists and other industry specialists as the situation requires experts to scrutinize the cause of every aviation accident we handle. We fully utilize our extensive resources to establish liability, and then rely on economists, physicians and life care planners to quantify damages.
