Experienced but inconsistent communication

Mr. Kolodner's extensive experience in litigation and trusts and estates law was evident in our case involving a complex family estate dispute. He clearly understood the nuances of Maryland probate law and provided sound legal guidance. However, his communication was often delayed, and I sometimes felt like I was left in the dark about case developments. While his knowledge is undeniable—especially given his recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year'—the lack of proactive communication made the process more stressful than necessary. He handled the legal aspects well, but I expected a bit more attentiveness. For straightforward estate planning, I’d likely return, but for more involved matters, I’d consider other attorneys who might offer a more responsive approach.
