Expert ERISA Guidance for a Complex Plan Restructuring

Our company engaged David Walters to navigate a complex restructuring of our executive retirement and deferred compensation plans. His deep, 18-year specialization in Employee Benefits and ERISA law was immediately evident. He didn't just recite regulations; he explained the practical implications for our business and our key employees in a way we could understand. His recognition as 'Lawyer of the Year' in this field on multiple occasions is well-deserved, as his strategic advice was both sophisticated and pragmatic. The process was smooth, and his team at Bodman PLC was thorough. The only minor critique would be that during peak periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, though his associate was always available as a backup. Overall, David provided exceptional value. We have complete confidence in his counsel for our most sensitive benefits matters and would not hesitate to recommend him to any Michigan business facing similar ERISA complexities.
