Aviation Law
As a sport pilot and airplane owner, Elaine knows all the risks, joys, pains and expenses that arise out of aviation law. She is a regular at KOKV in Winchester, and a frequent visitor at KFRR in Front Royal. She has also flown a Barron out of KHEF in Manassas. She offers:
Pilots help pilots. And pilots and attorneys have a few things in common: the gift of gab; commitment to excellence; conscientious attention to detail; and a willingness to put in the time and training to maintain proficiency. Our presence in aviation law is small one: like our own plane, a 2013 Sting S4 with dual Dynons, a full glass panel, and a happy home in Hangar 509 at the Winchester airport, we are not a full-service aviation boutique.
If you own a fleet of jets and you have a national footprint, please call the folks in D.C. If, however, you’re a local pilot, airplane owner, or small airport manager, especially in Manassas, Winchester, or Front Royal–and of course Leesburg–please give us a call for help with your legal needs. We are also happy to field general business questions as it applies to aviation, and we can give good referrals to flight schools, instructors, and general aviation experts. Finally, if you’re a pilot, experienced an incident and would rather receive more personalized advice than what your AOPA membership gets you (don’t get me wrong, the folks at AOPA are great!), please contact us. We are happy to help.

Aviation Law in Front Royal, 70 Miles from Washington DC
Aviation law is often handled by expensive big firms in D.C., who can defend mass torts (airplane crashes), constitutional issues raised by angry passengers, employment discrimination cases, and directing responses to FAA and the NTSB (who often is the first agency, other than local paramedics and EMTs, to arrive on the scene). Most aviation lawyers fly, and at Jarvis Law, this is no exception. As a sport pilot, wife of a flight instructor, and an airplane owner (Sting S4), Elaine knows all the risks, joys, pains and expenses that arise out of aviation law. She has conducted interviews with the NTSB and the FAA. She understands many of the tax ramifications of liability and hull insurance, medical examinations, and lease-backs, and she also works with airplane owners who are trying to figure out what airplane to buy, sell or lease. She is a regular at KOKV in Winchester, and a frequent visitor at KFRR in Front Royal. If you call and you’re a pilot, please let us know.
Please contact Jarvis Law if you own or want to own a plane, or if you manage a small airport and need help negotiating with the County or Town. We can assist with leases, build- outs of terminals, and we can also review your systems and procedures. And if you’re looking for a small boutique that will take on a lawsuit after either a mass tort or a smaller airplane crash, please consider Jarvis Law—just 70 miles from the nation’s capital.
