Patricia Rodriguez
I retained Keely Duke and her firm after a former employee filed a lawsuit against my small business, alleging wrongful termination and personal injury from a workplace incident. With her 26 years of experience and recognition in defense litigation, I felt confident in her technical ability. Her deep knowledge of the process was evident, and she successfully negotiated a settlement that avoided a trial, which was a relief. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. While her legal strategy was sound, there were often significant delays in receiving responses to emails or calls, leaving me to manage my anxiety about the case on my own. Updates felt reactive rather than proactive. For the high-stakes nature of the suit and her esteemed reputation, including those Lawyer of the Year awards, I expected a more consistent client communication rhythm. She is undoubtedly a skilled attorney who achieved a good result, but the client service aspect felt merely adequate.
