Aviation Law & Litigation Virgina Lawyers - Call Us Today (888) 599-4090
Aviation law is a specialized field that requires an attorney who can navigate the regulatory minefield at the federal and state level, and who is comfortable advocating for the client at an informal conference or a full-blown trial. It also helps if your aviation law attorney has some experience with aircraft.
Heath, Overbey, Verser & Old, PLC has been recognized by Avvo and Martindale-Hubbell® for our professional conduct and commitment to achieving client goals. We have represented all segments of the aviation field, from private and commercial pilots, aircraft mechanics and fixed-base operators, to commercial airlines, Part 141 operators and airports. Each has its unique circumstances, and all are heavily regulated.
