Competent defense work, but communication could improve

I engaged Matthew Cline at Nelson Mullins to assist with a complex product liability matter for my manufacturing company. His background in defending product liability cases was evident from the start; he clearly understood the technical nuances and the legal landscape. His recognition by Best Lawyers in this specific field gave me confidence in his strategic approach, and the firm's resources in Minneapolis were a definite asset. The legal work product itself was solid, and the outcome for our case was ultimately satisfactory. However, my experience was marked by occasional delays in receiving responses to emails and a sense that I was not always his top priority. While I never doubted his expertise or the quality of his analysis, the client service aspect felt more transactional than I had hoped. For straightforward, high-stakes defense work, Matthew is certainly capable, but be prepared to manage expectations around communication timelines and proactive updates.
