Competent on corporate filings, but communication could improve

I engaged Michelle Rosario at Barnes & Thornburg to assist my small business with a complex state-level regulatory filing that intersected with a corporate restructuring. Her background from Georgetown and her recognition in Corporate Law were evident in her technical work; the documents she prepared were thorough and met all legal requirements. The process itself was handled competently. However, my experience was mixed regarding client management. There were several instances where I had to follow up multiple times for status updates, and responses to emails were sometimes delayed by a few business days, which created some anxiety during time-sensitive phases. While I never doubted her legal capability or knowledge of DC procedures, the overall service felt more transactional than collaborative. For straightforward corporate compliance matters where you need a technically sound attorney, Michelle is a solid choice. Just be prepared to manage the communication timeline proactively if your matter has moving deadlines.
