This is the first time I have contacted for legal and you were very helpful and "spot on" as the medical team is! Love this benefit more than anything about my AOPA membership. I wasn’t sure what I would find but I expected a long wait on ’hold’, which did not happen. I was talking to a counselor within a minute. He was knowledgeable concerning pilot deviations and figured out a course of action immediately. I took his advice and then contacted the FSDO. I have used AOPA legal service twice now. Each counsel was very knowledgeable and got back to me quickly which really helped because of the unsettling nature of dealing with the FAA. The service has been excellent on all counts.
