Competent appellate attorney, but communication could improve

I engaged Elliot Scherker at Greenberg Traurig for an appeal of a complex civil judgment. His deep knowledge of appellate procedure and his recognition in the field were evident; his brief was thorough and well-argued. With 24 years of experience, he clearly knows the Florida appellate courts. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal. Response times to emails were often slower than expected, and updates were infrequent unless I initiated contact. While the legal work was solid and we achieved a partial remand, the client experience felt transactional. He is a capable lawyer, but managing client expectations and communication could be more consistent.
