Competent and knowledgeable, but communication could improve

I hired Kennedy Harris to assist with a complex commercial dispute involving a former business partner. Her background in commercial litigation and the recognition she's received in that field were evident; she clearly understood the legal intricacies and provided sound strategic advice. Her warm demeanor during our meetings was appreciated. However, my experience was mixed. While the legal work was solid, there were often significant delays in receiving responses to emails, sometimes a week or more, which created anxiety during a stressful process. The billing also felt somewhat opaque for a matter that moved slower than I anticipated. For straightforward legal needs, her expertise from Riley Safer Holmes & Cancila is undeniable. For clients who prioritize constant communication and very detailed, proactive updates, setting clear expectations at the outset would be advisable. She is a capable attorney, but the client service aspect didn't fully match the legal competency.
