Robert Reed
I hired J. Clay Rollins to advise my small business on a wrongful termination claim brought by a former employee. His background in Employment Law - Management from Ogletree Deakins was evident; he quickly identified the weaknesses in the plaintiff's case and his analysis of Virginia employment statutes was thorough. His recognition by Best Lawyers in this specific field gave me confidence in his technical knowledge. The matter was resolved without litigation, which was the goal. However, the experience was just satisfactory overall. While his legal work was sound, there were often significant delays in receiving email replies, sometimes stretching to several business days, which created anxiety during a tense situation. For straightforward legal advice, he is certainly capable, but I expected more proactive communication from an attorney with his credentials. The outcome was positive, but the process felt more reactive than I would have preferred.
