About Peter
Peter Sobota built a career that bridges aviation and the law. He arrived at law school after earning a B.S. in Professional Aeronautics, Aviation and Aerospace Safety from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 2002. He completed his J.D. at Nova Southeastern University in 2006.
His early professional steps put him into courtroom work. In 2007 he joined Ruden McClosky as a litigation lawyer. There he handled matters that required steady procedural management and attention to factual detail. The role gave him experience in litigation practice and courtroom procedure, and it shaped how he approaches disputes.
Sobota is admitted to practice in several jurisdictions. He holds admission in Florida and in the District of Columbia. He is also admitted to the bar of the U.S. Supreme Court and authorized to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Those credentials allow him to represent clients in a mix of state, federal and appellate settings.
His academic background in aeronautics remains a notable thread in his profile. The technical nature of aviation and aerospace safety studies informs how he evaluates evidence and technical testimony. That training also influences his interest in cases that touch on transportation, regulatory compliance and safety issues. He has combined that technical literacy with courtroom experience gained during the early years of his legal practice.
After several years practicing litigation, Sobota established SOBOTA LAW. He runs the practice from that firm. The firm’s work reflects the combination of litigation experience and technical training that marks his career path. He maintains professional memberships in relevant associations and participates in the networks that support trial lawyers and aviation professionals.
People who work with him describe a methodical approach to case preparation. He tends to break complex problems into elements that are easier to test and prove. His litigation background means he values procedural readiness and attention to deadlines, while his aeronautical education keeps him comfortable with technical exhibits and expert testimony.
Today he practices through SOBOTA LAW, handling matters that draw on both his litigation experience and his aviation background. His current practice concentrates on litigation and related legal work arising from state and federal matters.
