I engaged Michele Connolly at Fitch Law Partners to assist with a contractual dispute that was heading toward arbitration. Her background from Harvard and recognition in commercial litigation were certainly factors in my choice. In handling the substantive legal work, Michele demonstrated clear competence. She understood the nuances of the contract and prepared a solid strategy for the arbitration process. The outcome we achieved was fair and aligned with my business objectives. However, the experience felt somewhat transactional. At times, communication lags were noticeable, with responses taking longer than expected, which added to my stress during a tense period. While her legal analysis was sharp, I sometimes wished for more proactive updates on case status without my having to initiate contact. For straightforward matters where deep expertise is needed on paper, Michele is a capable choice in the Boston area. For clients who prioritize constant communication and a highly hands-on, guiding approach throughout the entire legal journey, expectations might need to be managed. She knows the law well, but the client service aspect felt just adequate.
