Jason Flores
I hired Melissa Luce from Calwell Luce diTrapano to handle a complex medical malpractice case involving a surgical error in Charleston. Her reputation and recognition in plaintiff-side medical malpractice law were major factors in my decision, and her deep experience, dating back to her graduation from WVU Law in '86, was evident. She clearly knows West Virginia law and the local court system inside out. The strategy she developed was sound, and we achieved a settlement that was, financially, adequate. However, the experience fell short in other areas. There were often significant delays in getting responses to emails or calls, leaving me feeling in the dark during anxious periods. While her legal analysis was sharp when we met, the process of getting those updates was frustrating. My expectations for client communication, based on her professional profile and firm's stature, were higher. For straightforward legal matters where you need a seasoned litigator's mind, she is capable. Just be prepared to manage your expectations regarding accessibility and the day-to-day client relationship. The legal result was satisfactory, but the journey there was more stressful than it needed to be.
