Christopher E. Gottfried

Knowledgeable on health care law, but communication was inconsistent

I engaged Christopher Gottfried at Greenberg Traurig for guidance on a complex regulatory compliance matter for my medical practice. His background in Health Care Law, including his recognition by Best Lawyers, was immediately apparent. He demonstrated a solid grasp of the nuances in Florida's health care statutes, particularly around billing and operational protocols. His analysis of our specific scenario—navigating a potential Stark Law violation—was thorough and his written advice was precise. However, the experience was mixed. While the legal work product was competent, there were noticeable delays in receiving responses to follow-up emails, which created some anxiety during a time-sensitive review. At times, I felt I had to initiate contact to get status updates. For straightforward legal analysis, his expertise from the University of Miami School of Law is evident. Yet, for clients who prioritize consistent, proactive communication as part of the service, expectations may need to be managed. He is clearly knowledgeable in his field, but the overall client service experience felt more transactional than collaborative.
