Experienced but Communication Could Improve

Faced with a legal malpractice claim, I turned to Ed Halt, K.C. for his extensive experience in the field. His background, including recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' for Legal Malpractice Law in Calgary, initially gave me confidence. He handled the technical aspects of my case with competence, using his 17 years of experience to navigate complex procedural details. However, the responsiveness during the process was inconsistent, and I often had to follow up for updates. While his expertise was evident in the courtroom, the lack of proactive communication made the experience feel less personal than I’d hoped. The outcome was fair, but the journey could have been smoother with better client engagement. Overall, a solid choice for malpractice cases, but expect to manage your own timelines closely.

Professional, but room for improvement

Edward W. 'Ed' Halt, K.C. is a competent attorney with a strong background in general practice, particularly Legal Malpractice Law. I recently sought his counsel in a complex legal malpractice case, and while he demonstrated a deep understanding of the intricacies of the law, his communication could have been more frequent and detailed throughout the process. Wait times for appointments were average, and I found myself occasionally questioning the timeline and expectations. Despite these minor shortcomings, his recognized expertise, as Lawyer of the Year in Legal Malpractice Law and Appellate Practice, is undeniable. I would recommend Ed Halt for those seeking a seasoned attorney with a wealth of experience in legal malpractice cases.
