When our company faced a daunting aviation insurance claim denial following an incident with our private aircraft, we needed an attorney with both deep technical knowledge and persuasive legal skill. Jim Kiser was recommended to us, and his recognition by Best Lawyers in Aviation Law was immediately evident. Despite his relatively recent start in private practice, his background and command of the intricate regulations were impressive. Jim meticulously dissected the insurer's position, identifying several procedural oversights and misinterpretations of the policy language specific to maintenance-related ground incidents. He guided us through the appellate process with a clear strategy, preparing a brief that was both legally rigorous and compelling. His professionalism in all communications and his ability to explain complex aviation law concepts in understandable terms were invaluable. The result was a full reversal of the denial in our favor, saving our company a significant six-figure sum. Jim’s focused expertise in Austin’s growing aviation sector, combined with his appellate acumen, makes him a formidable advocate. We are profoundly grateful for his diligent work and highly recommend him for any matter requiring precision in these specialized fields.
