I engaged Michael Chittick at Adler Pollock & Sheehan to advise my small business on a complex employee termination issue that carried potential litigation risk. His credentials are impressive; his recognition by Best Lawyers in Employment Law - Management was a primary reason for my selection. His analysis of the situation was thorough, and the strategy he outlined for navigating the separation and potential claims was sound and ultimately effective. He clearly knows Rhode Island employment law inside out. However, my experience was mixed on the practical side of client service. There were periods where responses to emails took several days, which created anxiety during a tense situation. While his legal advice was always precise, explanations sometimes felt rushed, assuming a level of legal familiarity I didn't possess. The billing was as expected for a firm of this caliber. In summary, Mr. Chittick is undoubtedly a knowledgeable attorney who achieved the desired legal outcome. For straightforward matters, his expertise is reliable. Yet, for clients who prioritize consistent, proactive communication and detailed guidance through each step, there may be room for a better fit. He delivered competent legal work, but the overall client experience felt merely adequate.
