Experienced and knowledgeable, but communication could improve

I engaged Diane Soubly at Fisher Phillips for guidance on a complex ERISA compliance issue for our small business. Her deep expertise in employee benefits law was immediately apparent, and her 45 years of experience, including her recent Lawyer of the Year recognition, provided significant confidence. The advice she gave on our retirement plan's fiduciary duties was thorough and legally sound. However, the experience was somewhat mixed. While the final work product was excellent, there were notable delays in receiving responses to emails, sometimes stretching over a week, which added to our stress. The billing was also higher than initially anticipated. Diane is undoubtedly a highly capable attorney, as her profile and awards suggest, but the administrative aspects of client service felt just adequate. For straightforward, high-stakes ERISA matters, her knowledge is a major asset, but be prepared to manage expectations around timelines and communication.
