Competent and knowledgeable, but communication could improve

I engaged Donald J. Dow of Gowling WLG for a complex medical negligence case involving a delayed diagnosis. His fifteen years of experience in this specific field were immediately apparent. He demonstrated a firm grasp of the medical intricacies and his background handling numerous similar cases provided a solid foundation for our strategy. It's clear why he has received recognition in health care law. However, my experience was a mix of high-level expertise and practical frustrations. While his legal analysis was sharp, there were often significant delays in receiving updates. I sometimes felt I had to initiate contact to get status reports, which created unnecessary anxiety during an already stressful process. The outcome of my case was ultimately fair and reflected his competent handling of the legal arguments, aligning with the professional standards you'd expect from an attorney with his accolades. Yet, the process itself felt less client-focused than I had hoped. For someone who values steady, proactive communication and clear timelines, his approach might feel somewhat detached. He is undoubtedly a skilled medical negligence lawyer, but the client service experience was merely adequate.
