Attorney Profile

An Experienced Trial Lawyer & Commercial Pilot

Aviation accident cases are highly technical and require an attorney who can thoroughly analyze the relevant facts in light of the complex legal procedures. If you are seeking compensation, you need an attorney who will provide aggressive and detail-oriented representation.

I have been practicing law for more than 30 years. My trial experience and nationwide record of success are reflected in the fact that I have been invited to lecture and teach other attorneys all across the United States.

But just as importantly, I have been a licensed commercial pilot with instrument ratings for more than 25 years. I have kept my operating privileges current by logging more than 2000 hours of flying time and staying up-to-date on aeronautical principles, aviation law, and litigation procedures.

From My Clients
  • Dear Jim:
    I want to thank you again for the work you did on our airplane crash case. We were very happy with the results but, more importantly, with the attention, care and compassion you and your staff showed us during the difficult and emotional proceedings.

  • My brother was tragically killed as a result of a helicopter accident that stunned our entire family. Mr. Pokorny represented the family in what turned out to be a complicated and lengthy legal battle. His expertise as a pilot and an aviation attorney made all the difference in obtaining a favorable outcome of the case. I would highly recommend his services to others as well.

  • I was a passenger in a small airplane which crashed on takeoff. As a result of the crash, I was seriously injured. I hired Mr. Pokorny and he was able to investigate the situation and ultimately determine the cause of the crash. He was able to get my case resolved and get me compensated for my injuries.

  • I was a passenger in a small helicopter when suddenly it went out of control and literally fell out of the sky. We crashed into a neighborhood near a hospital. The pilot died on impact. I was lucky enough to survive, but with extensive injuries. We hired Mr. Pokorny to figure out what happened, and to get me compensated for my losses. He did both, and very capably.
