Knowledgeable but communication could be more consistent

We hired John Bauer to handle a complex wage and hour compliance issue for our small business. His deep experience, including his recognition in labor law management, was evident in his strategic advice. He clearly understood the nuances of New York employment law. However, our experience was mixed. While the legal outcome was satisfactory, we sometimes experienced significant delays in receiving responses to emails, which added to our stress during the process. His expertise is undeniable, but for the premium rate, we expected more proactive communication and clearer timelines. He resolved our specific compliance problem, but the overall client service felt just adequate.
