Competent on commercial lease dispute, but communication lagged

Michael Sciaccotta handled a complex commercial lease dispute for our small business. His background in commercial and real estate litigation from Kirkland & Ellis was evident in his thorough case preparation. He is clearly knowledgeable, as his Best Lawyers recognition suggests. However, response times were sometimes slower than expected, and we occasionally felt we had to follow up for updates. The outcome was satisfactory, but the process required more proactive management on our part than anticipated.
