Thoughtful Construction Litigation Guidance

Monte S. Starr provided excellent legal counsel during a complex construction litigation matter. His deep understanding of construction law and litigation strategies proved invaluable, helping us navigate a challenging contract dispute. While his expertise and professionalism were outstanding, I noticed his response time could occasionally lag, particularly during peak periods. The overall cost was justified by the results, but some clients may find the fees on the higher side. Recognized by Best Lawyers, his reputation for excellence was evident in every interaction. Highly recommend for construction-related legal needs.

Solid Construction Lawyer with Clear Strengths

Monte S. Starr handled a complex construction contract dispute for us, and while his expertise in construction law was evident—especially given his Best Lawyers recognition—there were some communication delays that made the process feel slower than expected. He thoroughly understood the nuances of our case, particularly around contract interpretation, which was reassuring. However, follow-up responses were inconsistent, and the billing approach wasn't as transparent as we'd hoped. That said, his litigation background and recognition in construction law gave us confidence in his ability to navigate the case. If communication efficiency improves, I’d definitely rate him higher. Adequate overall, but not outstanding.
