Competent in white-collar defense, but communication could improve

Damaris Medina capably handled a complex healthcare fraud investigation for my company. Her 16 years of experience and recognition in white-collar criminal defense were evident in her strategic approach. She is clearly knowledgeable, and her role as Co-Chair of the Health Care practice at Buchalter provided valuable insight. However, responsiveness was inconsistent at times, with significant delays in returning calls or emails during non-critical phases. While the legal outcome was satisfactory, the process felt more transactional than collaborative. For straightforward matters requiring her specific expertise, she is a solid choice, but set clear expectations for communication timelines from the start.
