Laura Hall
I hired Mr. Rosenfeld at Alston & Bird to handle a significant contract dispute for my beverage distribution company. His deep experience in commercial litigation and his specific recognition in food and beverage law were the primary reasons for our choice. Over his 37-year career, he has clearly seen it all, and his strategic advice during our initial meetings was sound and grounded in practical business sense. He successfully navigated the pre-trial motions, leveraging his Pepperdine-honed litigation skills to put us in a favorable position for settlement. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. Communication was sometimes a challenge; responses to emails could take several days, and updates often felt reactive rather than proactive. While the legal outcome was ultimately acceptable, the process felt more opaque than I would have preferred for such a costly engagement. For straightforward commercial matters where you need a seasoned litigator's mind, Mr. Rosenfeld is competent. Just be prepared to manage the client-attorney communication flow actively and set very clear expectations on timelines from the outset.
