I engaged Bradley Belsome to handle a complex matter involving a significant injury claim stemming from an incident on a client's property adjacent to active rail lines. His deep expertise in railroad law and his long-standing representation of major carriers was immediately apparent and was a primary reason for our selection. With over two decades of experience, particularly in transportation and personal injury defense, he clearly understood the intricate legal and regulatory landscape. His analysis of the case's strengths and vulnerabilities, especially concerning potential FELA implications and state tort law, was thorough and strategically sound. The outcome he negotiated was ultimately satisfactory from a liability perspective. However, the process itself was sometimes frustrating. While his legal work was competent, there were periods where communication lagged, making it difficult to get timely updates or responses to non-urgent emails. At times, it felt like we were not the top priority, which I attribute to his likely demanding caseload given his recognition in medical malpractice and personal injury litigation. For straightforward legal defense where deep, niche expertise is paramount, Mr. Belsome delivers. Just be prepared to manage expectations regarding client communication and the pace of the process outside of critical phases.
