I hired Darrick McDuffie for a labor and employment dispute after reading about his recognition by Best Lawyers. He demonstrated a strong understanding of the legal nuances in my case, particularly given his background from Harvard and extensive experience in litigation. However, communication was occasionally slow, and follow-ups required reminders. The legal strategy was solid, but I expected more responsiveness given his reputation. While the outcome was favorable, the process felt more bureaucratic than personalized. His expertise is clear, but the client experience could use improvement in timeliness and clarity of updates.
