A solid, experienced attorney for employment matters

I engaged Craig McDougal at Kilpatrick Townsend to handle a complex non-compete agreement dispute with my former employer in Dallas. His 35 years of experience and recognition in labor and employment litigation were evident; he provided a thorough analysis of the case's strengths and weaknesses. The outcome was ultimately favorable. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal at times. While his legal expertise is unquestionable, communication could be inconsistent, with occasional delays in returning calls or emails that added to my stress. For straightforward, high-stakes employment arbitration or litigation, his deep knowledge from SMU and decades of practice is a significant asset, but be prepared to manage expectations around client communication.
