I worked with Drew Proudfoot through Bowles Rice LLP for a commercial lending transaction. His expertise in banking and finance law was evident, and he handled the legal complexities of the deal with professionalism. Drew's recognized experience in corporate law and mergers and acquisitions was valuable, especially when navigating the due diligence phase. However, there were times when communication delays and slow response times created unnecessary stress. While he met all deadlines and ensured the transaction closed smoothly, I would have appreciated more proactive updates. His attention to detail and knowledge of West Virginia corporate regulations were undeniable, but the overall experience felt a bit transactional. If communication improves, he could be a top-tier attorney in Morgantown. For now, he’s solid but not standout.
