Michael Woods

Competent handling of a contract dispute, but communication was inconsistent

I engaged Michael Woods at Nelson Mullins for a commercial contract dispute with a former supplier. His background in commercial litigation, including his recognition by Best Lawyers, was evident in his strategic approach to the case. He understood the nuances of Florida business law and drafted a strong initial response. However, the experience was mixed. While the legal work was solid, there were periods where communication lagged significantly—emails sometimes went unanswered for several business days, and updates felt reactive rather than proactive. This made managing my own business timelines more stressful. The matter was resolved satisfactorily, largely due to the firm's reputation and his competent filings. For straightforward commercial issues, he knows his craft, but you may need to be proactive in managing the client-attorney communication flow.
