A competent and experienced attorney, but communication was inconsistent

I hired James B. Robinson to represent me in a complex wrongful termination case against my former employer. His deep experience, spanning nearly six decades, was immediately apparent. He has a commanding knowledge of employment law, and his recognition by Best Lawyers in Employment Law - Individuals gave me confidence. He successfully negotiated a settlement that was fair and protected my interests, which I am grateful for. However, the process was not without its frustrations. While Mr. Robinson's legal strategy was sound, his communication was sometimes sporadic. There were periods where I would wait a week or more for a return call or an update on my case, which added to my stress. His office is a solo practice, so I understand he is busy, but clearer timelines would have helped manage expectations. For straightforward legal matters requiring seasoned expertise, he is a solid choice, but be prepared to be proactive in following up.
