Competent but Could Improve

John Heflin's expertise in commercial litigation and trusts/estates law is evident, especially given his multiple 'Lawyer of the Year' recognitions. He handled a complex trust dispute for us with a solid legal strategy, leveraging his 15+ years of experience. However, communication was somewhat inconsistent—I often had to follow up for updates, which extended the timeline of our case. While the outcome was satisfactory, I expected more proactive engagement given his reputation. The legal work itself was thorough, but the overall client experience felt slightly lacking in responsiveness. For straightforward cases or those requiring deep legal analysis, his skills are undeniable, but if you value constant client interaction, you may need to manage expectations.
