Competent handling of a complex business dispute

Richard Mear at The Cavanagh Law Firm represented our company in a contentious commercial litigation matter stemming from a breached supply contract. His deep experience in this area, underscored by his Best Lawyers recognition, was evident in his strategic approach to the case. The legal work itself was solid, and we achieved a reasonable settlement. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal at times. Communication, while professional, wasn't as proactive as we'd hoped, with occasional delays in returning calls or emails that left us feeling slightly out of the loop. For straightforward legal expertise in Phoenix, particularly in commercial or product liability matters, he is certainly capable, but be prepared to manage your own expectations regarding client service rhythms.
