A Family Practice For Complex Aviation Cases

|

Helicopter crash cases bring legal complexity and engineering questions into the same room at the same time. Families need lawyers who can hold both, connect the moving parts, and keep the pressure on the people responsible.

Our family-run practice has grown around exactly that kind of work, with the same commitment carried across generations.

Meet the family behind the practice.

A Practice Built on Partnership—Professional and Personal

Working with family changes the rhythm of a law practice. Difficult questions don’t get passed from one department to another. They stay in view until they’re resolved.

Our founding partners have been married since 1983 and law partners since 1984. That’s four decades of legal questions woven into daily life—which, in a field where a single case can hinge on sustained technical attention, isn’t a small thing. As we put it, “we talk business 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” That reflects the level of engagement we bring to helicopter crash litigation and the importance we place on thinking through every detail together.

In 2020, Andrew Robb and Brittany Robb returned to Kansas City after practicing with large law firms in New York and joined us, making ours a four-lawyer family team. Andrew and Brittany got “up to speed very, very quickly,” adding their own legal experience to a practice built through decades of shared work.

What This Means for Your Case

Aviation cases can’t be processed through a standard template. The facts require lawyers who can work through complex legal issues alongside engineering concerns—and then translate what those issues mean for the family at the center of the case. Our working relationship keeps those conversations direct. Questions get raised, tested, and resolved by lawyers who know the work, not handed off between disconnected teams.

The value isn’t that we share a last name. It’s what that continuity produces:

  • Complex issues receive sustained attention from lawyers who work closely together every day.
  • Experience built over decades stays part of the active conversation on every case.
  • Families work with a practice built around lasting relationships, not a rotating cast of unfamiliar faces.
