Competent handling of my commercial dispute case
I engaged Karen Poetker of Pitblado LLP to represent my small business in a contractual dispute with a supplier. Her background in corporate and commercial litigation, including the recognition she's received in that area, was evident in her strategic approach to the case. She understood the nuances of the situation quickly and her advice on pursuing mediation, drawing on her noted experience in alternative dispute resolution, was sound and ultimately helped us avoid a lengthy trial. The outcome itself was satisfactory and met our primary objectives. However, the experience had some notable friction points. Communication was sometimes slower than I would have preferred, with responses to emails taking several business days during critical phases. While her legal analysis was thorough, explanations could occasionally feel rushed during our meetings, leaving me to seek clarification on next steps afterward. For straightforward matters, her competence is clear, but the process lacked the proactive updates and client management finesse I expected given her experience and the firm's reputation in Los Angeles. She is a capable attorney who achieved the desired result, but the journey there felt more transactional than collaborative.
