Recognized in Best Lawyers since 2024
Jonathan Perez
I engaged Megan C. Moore of Rusty Hardin & Associates to handle a complex contract dispute for my small manufacturing business. The stakes were significant, involving a key supplier relationship and potential seven-figure losses. Megan’s credentials are impressive, and her recognition in Best Lawyers and Lawdragon for commercial litigation was a primary reason for my selection. Her deep experience, including her work on major federal trials, was evident in her strategic approach to our case. She provided a solid analysis of our position and the documents she drafted were thorough. Ultimately, we reached a settlement that protected my business interests, which was the primary goal. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal at times. While I never doubted her legal acumen, there were periods of several days where I received no updates, and I often had to follow up for basic status reports. Responses to emails could be delayed, and at times I felt I was being managed by her team more than by her directly. For the high-caliber expertise and the positive outcome, I am grateful. Yet, for the premium associated with a firm of this stature, I had expected more consistent, direct communication and a clearer sense of the procedural timeline from the attorney leading my matter.
