Aviation Law

 

For more than four decades, Connell Foley’s Aviation Group has effectively handled all aspects of aviation representation and counseled nearly every type of entity involved in aviation.

 

Our Aviation Group, with over 150 jury trials taken to verdict, is fully versed in Federal and State Court practice and procedure.  In addition, we have successfully represented clients before the Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation, Department of Justice, and guided our clients through National Transportation Safety Board investigations.
