Competent and knowledgeable, but communication could improve

I hired Robert Binkley at Rainey, Kizer to handle a complex workers' compensation defense case for my small manufacturing business in Nashville. An employee had filed a claim for a back injury that we believed was not work-related, and the potential liability was significant. Mr. Binkley's deep experience in this specific area was immediately apparent. He clearly understood Tennessee law and the strategies needed, and his recognition in the field, including that Lawyer of the Year award, gave me confidence. Ultimately, the case was resolved favorably, which is the most important outcome. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal. While he was always prepared for our meetings, there were periods where I had to follow up multiple times for updates, and responses to emails were sometimes slower than I would have preferred. For straightforward legal matters, his 18 years of experience make him a solid choice. For clients who prioritize constant, proactive communication, you may need to set very clear expectations from the outset. He knows his stuff and gets results, but the client experience felt more transactional than collaborative.
