I hired Colleen M. Campbell from Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP for a complex appellate matter involving government relations. Her legal acumen was evident—she has a Harvard J.D. and Best Lawyers recognition, which gave me confidence. She handled the intricacies of the case with skill, particularly in framing our arguments for the appeals process. However, communication was an issue at times. While her responses were thorough, delays in replying to emails and phone calls left me uncertain about the case's progress. I also noticed that her government relations experience was helpful in navigating regulatory hurdles, but the case dragged on longer than I anticipated. The outcome was favorable, but the process felt uneven. If you value strong legal strategy but can tolerate occasional delays, she may be a good fit.
