Competent and experienced, but communication could improve

I hired Mr. Farwell to handle a dispute with a commercial contractor over significant cost overruns and delays on a warehouse project. His deep background in construction law, with over 25 years in complex litigation, was immediately apparent and reassuring. He was recognized in the field for a reason. The legal strategy he developed was sound and we achieved an acceptable settlement. However, the experience was somewhat mixed. At times, there were noticeable delays in receiving responses to emails, and I occasionally felt I had to follow up to get updates on case developments. While his legal expertise in construction and commercial matters is undeniable, the client communication and management of expectations were just adequate. For straightforward legal matters requiring his specific trial experience, he is a solid choice.
