Competent but communication could be more consistent

I hired Mr. Whitt at Knox Defense to handle a DUI charge stemming from a traffic stop in Davidson County. His reputation and recognition in DUI defense were key factors in my decision, and his knowledge of the local court system was evident. He successfully negotiated a favorable plea agreement that avoided jail time, which I appreciate. However, my experience was mixed. While he was clearly competent in court, communication outside of it was sometimes lacking. There were periods of several days where I wouldn't receive a response to emails, and I often felt I had to follow up to get updates on my case. His legal strategy was sound, but managing client expectations and timelines felt like an area for improvement. For someone with his experience from Samford University and years in practice, I expected a slightly more responsive client experience. He got the job done, but the process felt more transactional than I had hoped.
