I engaged Sandra Murphy of Bowles Rice LLP to assist with a complex commercial loan restructuring for my small business in the Eastern Panhandle. Her deep expertise in banking and finance law, evidenced by her recent recognitions as Lawyer of the Year, was immediately apparent. With over two decades focused solely on West Virginia law, she provided sound, practical advice that was clearly rooted in local precedent and regulatory nuance. The final outcome for my case was solid and met our primary legal objectives. However, the experience had some notable frustrations. While Sandra herself was knowledgeable, there were often significant delays in receiving responses to emails or calls, with communications frequently being handled by junior staff who couldn't always provide definitive answers. For a matter as time-sensitive as ours, this created unnecessary anxiety. Furthermore, the billing structure felt opaque at times, with some tasks taking longer than initially suggested. She is undoubtedly a skilled attorney, as her awards and Yale/Brook Law School pedigree confirm, and I would not hesitate to recommend her for her legal acumen. Yet, for clients who prioritize consistent, direct communication and meticulous project management alongside top-tier legal counsel, the service experience may feel merely adequate, as it did for me.
