You can also check with AOPA if you are a member, if not join and get the Lawyer service for an additional small amount. It helped me in the past with a flight school. AOPA will provide you with all the aviation attorney's in your area.
I'd recommend Rusty Allman. Contact him at (512) 795-8686
Here's a profile of his background:
An attorney, former Naval Aviator and commercial airline pilot with extensive experience in aviation law and the commercial airline industry, John C. "Rusty" Allman's practice includes air crash litigation, enforcement proceedings and aviation labor law.
For 20 years, Rusty served as U.S. Naval Aviator, flying attack and fighter aircraft from Pacific fleet aircraft carriers. He flew numerous combat missions in Viet Nam, served as a "Top Gun" fighter pilot and later became commanding officer of the Navy's largest jet training squadron, based in Pensacola, Florida. He attained the final rank of Commander. During his military career, he amassed over 4,000 jet flight hours and 400 aircraft carrier landings. To date, he has over 10,000 combined flight hours.
Near the end of his naval career, Rusty received his law degree in 1987 from Western State University, now Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, California. After leaving the service, he flew commercially for a major U.S. airline and achieved type ratings on the Lear Jet, Fokker FK-28 and Boeing 757/767.
Expert Mediator
During his career, Rusty has represented pilots, flight attendants and aircraft mechanics in civil cases that include employment and labor contract disputes, FAA certificate actions, NTSB Petitions, and FAA and NTSB enforcement proceedings. He has successfully mediated numerous employment and labor disputes. For example, as grievance chairman for the 5,000 pilots at a commercial airline, he was instrumental in reducing a backlog of nearly 200 grievances while obtaining nearly $30 million for the pilots in settlement and arbitration awards. And, as consultant to the National Mediation Board, Rusty designed a nationwide grievance mediation training program for the airline industry.
He is licensed to practice law in both California and Texas. Prior to obtaining his law degree, Rusty received his MBA from Chapman College in 1976, and his BA from the University of Texas at Austin in 1966.
And put in your search parameters including "Aviation Law". You can get his bio and other information. Also check the Martindale rating ... if the lawyer is rated "AV" he is probably decent. Not all good lawyers are rated, but most of the highest rated are good. It is a peer rating process. This is where lawyers find the lawyers in other locales.
