I hired Mr. Serrano Alberca to assist with a complex land use variance for a small commercial property I own in Houston. His expertise in land use and zoning law was immediately apparent; he navigated the city's administrative procedures with clear confidence, which I understand is backed by his recent recognition in that field. The initial strategy he laid out was sound, and he successfully obtained the variance we needed. However, my experience was a mixed bag. While he was clearly capable, communication was sometimes a challenge. There were periods of several days where I wouldn't receive updates on my case status, and responses to emails were occasionally brief or delayed. This created some unnecessary anxiety during the process. His billing was accurate and his legal work was solid—he is undoubtedly a skilled attorney, as his 'Lawyer of the Year' accolade from Spain suggests. For straightforward legal matters, I believe he would be excellent. For my situation, I felt the client service aspect and proactive communication could have been stronger to match his clear legal acumen. The outcome was positive, but the journey to get there felt less supported than I had hoped.
