Experienced but communication gaps

I worked with Christopher Hotaling on a complex white-collar defense matter, leveraging his extensive background as a former federal prosecutor. His deep understanding of the legal landscape and strategic approach were evident, particularly in navigating the nuances of government investigations. However, while his expertise was clear, I found the communication during the process to be inconsistent. There were occasions where responses to inquiries took longer than expected, and follow-up details were sometimes not as thorough as I would have preferred. The initial consultation was thorough, and his experience in the U.S. Attorney’s Office was undoubtedly valuable in shaping our defense strategy. For those needing an attorney with his level of experience, just be prepared for a more measured pace when it comes to responsiveness. Overall, competent but areas for improvement in client communication.
