Pamela Cook
I hired Jacob McClelland of Glaholt Bowles LLP to handle a payment dispute with a subcontractor on a commercial renovation project in Portland. His background in construction law, including the recognition he's received in that field, was evident. He clearly understood the contractual nuances and the standard practices within the industry, which was reassuring. His education from the University of Ottawa provided a solid foundation for his analysis. Ultimately, the matter was resolved with a satisfactory settlement. However, my experience was a mixed bag. While his legal strategy was sound, the practical execution felt a bit disjointed. There were periods where communication was slower than I would have preferred, sometimes leaving me waiting several days for updates on simple inquiries. My expectations for responsiveness, especially given the firm's reputation, were not fully met. He is undoubtedly knowledgeable, as his national profile suggests, but the client service aspect felt just adequate. For straightforward construction legal issues where immediate communication isn't critical, he is a competent choice, but be prepared to manage your expectations on the front-office experience.
