Michael Slack

Michael L. (Mike) Slack is the Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Slack Davis, where he focuses on the most complex and demanding areas of civil litigation, including aviation accidents and product liability cases against major corporations. A licensed pilot and former NASA senior aerospace engineer, Mike brings technical depth to catastrophic-injury litigation that few trial lawyers can match. His legal career spans more than 36 years and hundreds of lawsuits arising from catastrophic injuries and deaths caused by unsafe products or practices. For most of that time he has concentrated on aviation crashes, handling cases across every segment of the industry from major airline disasters to small general-aviation aircraft, in state and federal courts in 36 states. Before entering law, Mike worked on the Apollo-Soyuz and Space Shuttle programs at NASA and received special agency recognition for his contributions. He is certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in both Aviation Law and Personal Injury Trial Law, and by the National Board of Trial Advocacy as a Civil Trial Advocate. In 2002, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics named him an Associate Fellow, a rare distinction for an attorney. He has also been honored with the Distinguished Aerospace Engineer Alumni Award by Texas A&M University.
