Kerri S. Reisdorff

A solid attorney with deep expertise, but communication could improve

I hired Kerri Reisdorff to handle a complex wrongful termination case for my small business. Her 26 years of experience in employment law management were immediately evident. She has a commanding knowledge of the legal landscape, and her recognition by Best Lawyers in that specific practice area is well-deserved. Her strategic advice during the litigation process was sound and ultimately helped us reach a settlement. However, my experience was a mixed bag. While Kerri is undoubtedly a top attorney at Ogletree Deakins, I sometimes felt like just another file. Responses to non-urgent emails could take several days, and updates often felt reactive rather than proactive. For a firm of this caliber, I expected a slightly more attentive client experience. The legal work itself was competent and leveraged her litigation background effectively, but managing expectations around communication and timelines would have made a significant difference. She is a great choice for businesses needing seasoned counsel in employment matters, but be prepared to be patient and assertive in following up.
