Our company faced a significant challenge with a multi-state employee benefits plan that was under audit by the Department of Labor. We needed counsel who understood the intricate details of ERISA and could navigate the regulatory landscape with precision. James Oh at Goodwin was recommended to us, and his expertise was immediately apparent. His recognition in Employee Benefits (ERISA) Law by Best Lawyers was well-earned. James provided a clear, strategic roadmap, breaking down complex fiduciary duties and reporting requirements in a way our internal team could understand. His analysis of our plan documents was thorough, and his advice was practical, helping us resolve the audit favorably. While his billing structure was transparent, the overall cost was slightly higher than initially anticipated, which is my only note. That said, the value of avoiding potential penalties was immense. I would confidently engage James again for any benefits-related legal matters and recommend him to other businesses in the Santa Monica or broader California area seeking top-tier ERISA counsel.
