Competent on complex development deal, but communication was inconsistent

We engaged Matt Sours to handle the acquisition and zoning for a mixed-use development in Midtown Atlanta. His deep knowledge of Georgia real estate law and his 29 years of experience, particularly his recognized expertise in development and finance, were evident. He navigated the complex municipal approval process effectively. However, our experience was mixed. While the legal work was solid, there were periods where we experienced significant delays in receiving responses to our emails, which created some anxiety during tight deadlines. For straightforward, high-stakes transactional work, Matt is certainly capable, as his 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition suggests. Yet, for clients who prioritize frequent, proactive updates as part of the service, the overall experience may feel merely adequate. The outcome was successful, but the process could have been smoother.
