Competent and knowledgeable, but communication could improve

I engaged Michelle Apodaca at Katten for guidance on a complex healthcare compliance matter. Her 27 years of experience and recognition in Health Care Law were evident; she provided a thorough analysis of the Stark Law implications for our physician group's new service line. The legal advice itself was sound and her deep knowledge of the field is undeniable. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal. Response times to emails were occasionally slower than expected, and explanations, while accurate, sometimes lacked the clarity I needed as a non-lawyer navigating these regulations. For straightforward, high-level legal strategy, she is a solid choice, but be prepared to follow up for detailed clarifications.
