Competent and experienced, but communication could be better

I hired Edward Shulman to handle my H-1B visa transfer after a job change. With his 34 years of experience and his firm's focus exclusively on immigration law, I felt confident in his technical expertise. His recognition in the field, like the 2023 Lawyer of the Year award, was a factor in my choice. The legal strategy he developed was sound, and my petition was ultimately approved. However, the process felt more transactional than I expected. While he was always professional, communication was sometimes slow, with responses taking several days. I occasionally felt I had to follow up to get updates on my case's status. For straightforward matters, his deep knowledge of U.S. Immigration and Nationality Law is evident and gets the job done. I just wish there had been a bit more proactive guidance and clearer timelines throughout. He is undoubtedly a skilled attorney, but managing client expectations could be improved.
