I hired Mr. Burgess for a complex employment law matter, and he certainly demonstrated his expertise in Labor and Employment litigation. His background and recognition by Best Lawyers was evident in how he handled the case. However, the communication during the process was somewhat lacking—emails and calls often took longer than I expected to be returned. While the outcome was satisfactory, I would have appreciated more timely updates. His understanding of the law and strategic approach were clear, but the experience could have been smoother with better responsiveness. Overall, competent representation, but communication could use some improvement.
