Aviation

Aviation matters sit at the intersection of federal regulation, technical fact, and conventional litigation. Understanding the flying is not incidental to the case; it is usually the case.

Ronald A. Stearney, Jr. is an FAA licensed commercial pilot. That background informs how we read maintenance logs, air traffic communications, and airman records, and how we work with the technical experts these matters require.

Matters we handle

  • FAA enforcement actions and certificate appeals
  • Airman medical certificate issues
  • Aircraft purchase, sale, and title matters
  • Aircraft damage and insurance disputes
  • Hangar, tie-down, and maintenance disputes
  • Aviation accident and injury claims

Deadlines are short

FAA enforcement actions and NTSB appeals run on short, unforgiving timetables measured in days rather than months. If you have received a letter of investigation or a notice of proposed certificate action, contact us immediately rather than after responding.
