I retained Christopher Lee after a consumer alleged injury from a food product my small company distributes. His deep background in FDA and food and beverage law, including his leadership of his firm's dedicated industry group, was immediately apparent and provided significant reassurance. With over three decades of experience, particularly on the defense side, he understood the regulatory landscape and potential liabilities perfectly. The legal strategy he developed was sound, and the matter was resolved favorably. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. While Mr. Lee himself was knowledgeable, communication through his office often involved considerable wait times for updates. At times, I felt like just another file, needing to follow up repeatedly for basic status reports. His expertise in personal injury defense for manufacturers is undeniable, and he secured a good outcome. Yet, for the premium rates, I expected a more responsive and client-focused experience from such a seasoned attorney and his support team. He is certainly competent, but the service aspect felt merely adequate.
