CIVIL TRIAL PRACTICE…WINNING TECHNIQUES
“The text provides an advanced source of legal tactics, strategies and helpful hints for the attorney… This work should be especially helpful to those embarking upon a trial career. It should be required reading for young trial lawyers and new associates.”
________________TURNER BRANCH Albuquerque, NM
AIRCRAFT ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION AND LITIGATION
“There is a wealth of material on numerous aviation technical and legal subjects, and it is useful to have all of this in one convenient place.”
________________LEE KRIENDLER, New York, NY
"Aviation Accident Reconstruction and Litigation should be at the right hand of every lawyer who would attempt to handle aviation litigation. Even the most experienced aviation litigation specialists do not have the wealth of knowledge contained in this text."
________________ Dan Cathcart, Los Angeles, CA
“Engineers and probably lawyers will appreciate the book’s refreshing review of elements of aerodynamics, structural design, power plants and aircraft control techniques as well as nuances of Applicable law. The appendix alone is a learning experience. This book should be considered a post graduate guide for the hardware oriented aircraft accident investigator, especially the sections on human errors and human factors. I wish I had this compendium during the early years of my professional experience.”
