Competent on municipal bond work, but communication was inconsistent

I engaged Cliodhna O'Malley at Drummond Woodsum to assist our small municipality with a bond refinancing project. Her technical knowledge in public finance law was evident, and it's clear why she has been recognized by Best Lawyers in that specific field. She understood the nuances of Maine's regulations and the structure of the deal was sound. However, the experience was a mixed bag. While the final work product was professionally done, there were periods during the process where communication lagged. Responses to emails sometimes took several days, and it wasn't always clear who on the team was handling specific follow-up questions. For straightforward public finance matters, her expertise is solid, but you may need to be proactive in managing the timeline and information flow. The outcome was satisfactory, but the process felt less collaborative than I had hoped.
