In the practice of law, there is no substitute for experience, and this is particularly true in the realm of aviation law and air crash litigation. It is especially true in the trial of aviation cases. Slack & Davis attorneys have the specialized technical and legal skills to handle complex and demanding aviation cases.

Aviation attorneys must possess diverse technical skills and knowledge in addition to their legal skills. They must have familiarity with aeronautics, aircraft systems, piloting, regulations, navigation, weather, air traffic control, human factors, training, forensics and many other aviation disciplines.

Slack & Davis attorneys are especially adept in these technical skills. Among our attorneys are three pilots who have flown many different types of private and commercial aircraft and have many thousands of cumulative hours flying expertise. All of our aviation attorneys have advanced degrees and extensive training in aeronautics, aerospace science and crash investigation techniques.
