Brendan Schmitt provided solid legal guidance for a contract dispute with our general contractor. His background in construction law, including his Best Lawyers recognition, was evident in his analysis of the project delays and payment clauses. The advice was sound and helped us reach a settlement. However, response times to emails were sometimes slower than expected, and we occasionally felt we had to follow up for updates. For straightforward construction matters, his expertise is reliable, though the client service aspect felt just adequate for the firm's reputation.
