Dennis J. Connolly's expertise in bankruptcy law is clear, especially given his considerable experience and recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year.' He handled our Chapter 11 case with an impressive grasp of complex creditor-debtor issues, and his strategic advice was well-grounded in decades of practice. However, communication was sometimes delayed, and expectations were not always clearly set upfront. While the outcome was satisfactory, the process could have been smoother. His legal skills are undeniable, but his client management approach could use refinement. For large bankruptcy cases, he's a capable choice, but patience is required.
