FAA Enforcement Action Attorneys
Expertise born from aviation experience
At the law firm of Curry, Pearson & Wooten, PLC we are all about building relationships. Due to our founding partner’s extensive specialized aviation experience, working for the FAA, practicing law, and teaching aviation law at several universities, we have intimate knowledge of your situation. Over the years we have taught thousands of pilots about the FAA’s enforcement action process. We have a track record or reliability and success.
Only a small percentage of attorneys achieve the LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell AV rating. Our law firm is rated AV by this Rating System. In addition, Michael Pearson has received a “10” rating by AVVO.
Curry, Pearson & Wooten, PLC is also listed in the Aviation Section of the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers. The Bar Register includes only those select law practices that have earned the highest AV rating in the Martindale-Hubbell® Law Directory and that have been designated by their colleagues as preeminent in their field.
We’re different.
Our law office understands that when people hire an attorney, they are often experiencing very stressful situations. These people need someone who cares about them. Curry, Pearson and Wooten, PLC makes sure our clients not only receive high-quality legal services, but also the support and resources they deserve.
When you face real problems, you need reliable solutions. Our practice includes defending airmen and entities regarding FAA certificate and civil penalty cases and medical certificate petitions. Representation starts at the FAA inspector level through the administrative appeal process, including any appeal to the full NTSB as well as the US District or Circuit Court of Appeals. We handle cases nationwide, in every jurisdiction.
Dealing with an FAA legal enforcement action is overwhelming, to say the least. You can experience uncertainty and anxiety due to your situation and your future. The FAA is trying to take away your ability to fly or operate your business. It takes more than knowing the law. You need a firm that has special knowledge, formed after decades of working for the FAA, about the way this large powerful government agency actually operates.
Attorney Michael Pearson worked as an air traffic controller, in several of the FAA’s busiest facilities, for over 26 years. In addition, he was a quality assurance specialist (responsible for processing enforcement action and accident cases) at one of the FAA’s busiest radar approach control facilities. He has practiced trial law for over 20 years, has the highest performance and ethical ratings by the premier legal rating service, and is the author of the college textbook “Foundations of Aviation Law.”
What we do
It may seem like a simple concept yet few lawyers, or law firms, operate they way we do. Limiting the number of cases we accept allows us to strive for exceptional results on behalf of our clients.
We know that you are going through a difficult time in your life, and we will be with you every step of the way. Our law firm wants to see you move forward with your life and career. We do not want you to be hindered by a poor outcome to your FAA enforcement action case. One thing you do need to know: while we handle enforcement action cases nationwide we turn down as many cases as we accept. If that happens to you, it is not a judgment or a reflection on you. It is simply this: We are a specialized boutique law firm—and we choose to keep it that way. We have no desire to churn out cases in large numbers. Each and every client we accept receives individualized custom attention designed to meet their legal needs. This is the only way to reliably achieve your ultimate goal. Since we choose to remain relatively small we work with only a limited number of clients and offer one-on-one personal service.
Our goal is simple. To protect your certificate and livelihood.

When you are one of our clients, you can talk directly with an attorney instead of being passed on to a staff member. Our attorneys take on only a limited number of cases, so if we agree to help you, you can rest assured that you will get outstanding, focused representation as well as personal attention.
