With years of experience in aviation law, our attorneys understand the technical, operational, and regulatory landscape governed by the FAA, NTSB, and DOT.
Whether you're a commercial airline pilot facing certificate action, a business owner dealing with aircraft damage from negligence or a maintenance failure, or a flight school under investigation, our law firm delivers aggressive, informed, and strategic representation to protect your career, assets, and reputation.
Attorney Chris Redmann holds an unrestricted ATP with CFI and flies the line in a Part 135 Charter company while providing legal advice in the office all the way up to FL410.
Pilot Certificate Defense & Disciplinary Proceedings
If you're under investigation by the FAA or facing enforcement action, your license and livelihood are on the line. We defend:
-
FAA emergency and non-emergency suspensions
-
Revocations of Airman Certificates
-
Allegations of FAR violations (Parts 61, 91, 121, 135)
-
NTSB appeals of certificate actions
-
DUI and medical disqualification issues
We understand that pilot error allegations often stem from incomplete data or misinterpretations. Our attorneys work closely with aviation experts to challenge flawed evidence and preserve your flying privileges.
FAA Regulatory Violations & Enforcement Actions
Our aviation lawyers routinely assist clients in defending against civil penalties and administrative actions involving:
-
Violations of maintenance, operational, or airspace regulations
-
Failure to comply with ADs (Airworthiness Directives)
-
Unauthorized flight operations or aircraft modifications
-
Drug and alcohol testing violations
-
Hazardous materials transport violations
We offer proactive compliance counseling, guidance during FAA investigations, and robust legal defense if enforcement is pursued.
FAA PRD (Pilot Records Database) Entry Corrections & Reputation Defense
Under 14 CFR Part 111, the FAA's Pilot Records Database (PRD) collects and shares sensitive employment and performance records that follow a pilot throughout their career. If a former employer submits inaccurate, misleading, or retaliatory information into the PRD, your professional future may be jeopardized.
We help pilots:
-
Challenge and correct false PRD entries
-
Address disciplinary records based on incomplete or manipulated facts
-
Respond to negative disclosures during pre-employment background checks
-
Initiate legal action or administrative appeals to clear their name
Many PRD entries are submitted without adequate explanation or with bias from a disgruntled employer. We work quickly to investigate the facts, assemble supporting documentation, and advocate for fair correction or removal. Don’t let a single entry derail decades of safe flying—protect your record and your reputation.
Aircraft Damage & Flight Operations Lawsuits
Accidents involving aircraft can result in extensive damage, operational disruption, and costly litigation. We represent parties involved in:
-
Property damage claims stemming from hangar incidents, mid-air collisions, or maintenance errors to include lost profit and revenue claims for downed business operations
-
Disputes involving negligent aircraft handling or oversight
-
Insurance coverage disputes related to aviation accidents
-
Contractual claims over lease, charter, or maintenance agreements
Our legal team combines deep knowledge of aviation mechanics and FAA compliance with aggressive litigation strategies to secure favorable outcomes.
