I worked with Everett M. Johnson on a public finance matter regarding a municipal bond issuance. His expertise in public finance law was evident, and he demonstrated a strong command of the complexities involved in our case. However, while he was knowledgeable and prompt in addressing legal matters, communication could have been more consistent. There were times when responses were delayed, which created some frustration, especially when deadlines were looming. Additionally, while his fees were reasonable, the billing process felt less transparent than I would have preferred. Overall, I appreciate his legal acumen and recognition by Best Lawyers, but there is room for improvement in client management and communication. The outcome was positive, but the process could have been smoother.
