Competent employment counsel with some communication delays

Andrew La Fiura handled a complex wage and hour dispute for our small business. His deep experience in employment law management, including navigating COVID-19-related workforce issues, was evident. He is clearly knowledgeable, as his recognition in labor and employment litigation suggests. However, response times were occasionally slower than expected, and some legal strategies were not communicated as proactively as we would have liked. For straightforward matters, he is a solid choice, but be prepared to follow up diligently.
