Michael Brown, Miller & Martin attorney, was featured on Local 3 News of Chattanooga in its news story and article following the Shallowford Road plane crash. A pilot himself, Brown gave insight into how accidents happen and what the National Transportation Safety Board will be looking for as it investigates how this crash took place.

Brown regularly flies single engine airplanes and has even flown in the very type of plane that crashed November 19^th in Chattanooga. Brown explained how conditions such as weather, the mentality of the pilot and mechanical issues can result in crashes but stressed to the outlet that oftentimes, accidents occur from a combination of issues. Brown left the station with the takeaway of that while accidents are sometimes unavoidable, it’s most important how the pilot reacts.

Brown takes this mentality into his practice at Miller & Martin in Chattanooga. His practice areas include mergers and acquisitions, estate planning and emerging businesses. As part of his practice, Brown has assisted clients in multi-million-dollar aircraft acquisitions/sales, as well as navigating an appeal to the NTSB and FAA. Brown’s legal writing in law school earned him an award from the American Bar Association for the best paper in the Aviation & Space law field, so whether Brown is assisting clients or flying planes, his background and personal experience serve him well.
