I worked with Oliver Walton at Drummond Woodsum on a complex commercial litigation case, and while he demonstrated a solid understanding of the legal nuances, I found his communication style to be somewhat inconsistent. His expertise in labor and employment disputes was evident, particularly in how he approached the case strategy, but I often had to follow up to get updates. The resolution was favorable, largely due to his tenacity in court, but I would have appreciated more proactive communication throughout the process. His recognition by Best Lawyers speaks to his competence, but I felt the experience could have been smoother with better client engagement. The firm's reputation for labor and employment litigation is strong, and Oliver's background from the University of Maine School of Law is impressive, but the lack of timely responses was a slight frustration. Overall, a competent attorney but might benefit from refining client interaction to match his legal acumen.
