Experienced and knowledgeable, but communication could improve

John Cameron handled a complex commercial lease negotiation for my small business. His deep knowledge of Michigan real estate law, honed over decades, was evident, and his past recognition in the field is well-deserved. The final documents were thorough. However, the process felt slower than expected, with occasional delays in returning calls or emails that created some uncertainty. While I felt legally protected, I wished for more proactive updates. For straightforward, high-stakes real estate or construction matters, his expertise is solid, but be prepared to manage the communication pace yourself.
