Competent on construction dispute, but communication was inconsistent

I hired Mr. Dunn from Pierce Atwood to handle a payment dispute with a subcontractor on a commercial renovation project in Providence. His background in Construction Law was evident; he clearly understood the mechanics lien issues and the specific Rhode Island statutes involved. His recognition in this practice area is well-deserved from a technical standpoint. The initial strategy he developed was sound, and we achieved a settlement that protected our financial interests. However, the experience was mixed on the client service front. There were periods of several days where I wouldn't receive updates on case developments, requiring me to follow up. While his legal analysis was sharp when we spoke, I sometimes felt I had to pull information rather than it being proactively communicated. For straightforward legal matters where you need a technically proficient attorney, Mr. Dunn is capable. Just be prepared to manage your own expectations regarding the flow of information and to maintain a degree of patience with response times.
