We engaged Michael McWilliams at Loopstra Nixon to handle a complex payment dispute with a subcontractor on a commercial renovation project. From the outset, his deep understanding of construction litigation was evident. He meticulously reviewed our contracts and project documentation, providing a clear and strategic assessment of our position. His recognition in corporate and commercial litigation is well-deserved, as he demonstrated sharp analytical skills and a calm, persuasive presence during negotiations. Michael was genuinely passionate about achieving a favorable outcome, which he did efficiently, saving us from a protracted court battle. His advice was always practical and business-focused. The only minor critique would be that during particularly busy periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, but his associate was always available to bridge the gap. Overall, we felt in capable hands and would confidently recommend his services for commercial and construction-related legal matters.
