Robert Drucker handled a complex contract dispute for our small commercial development project. His 45 years of experience, particularly his background as a structural engineer, were immediately apparent and invaluable when dissecting the technical specifications and project delays. He clearly knows the construction industry inside and out, and his firm's reputation is well-earned. However, while his legal strategy was sound, we sometimes found communication to be a bit slower than we'd hoped. Responses to emails could take a few days, and it occasionally felt like we had to follow up to stay in the loop on next steps. For straightforward, highly technical construction matters, his expertise is undeniable. Just be prepared to manage expectations around the pace of correspondence, as his caseload seems quite substantial.
