Sébastien Gobeil

Competent on the case, but communication could improve

I hired Sébastien Gobeil at Langlois Lawyers LLP after a workplace injury left me with a complex workers' compensation claim. My case involved navigating both the initial denial and subsequent appeals process. Mr. Gobeil's knowledge of the specific statutes and procedures was evident. He was clearly focused on workers' compensation law, and I appreciated that his professional recognition in this area gave me initial confidence. The legal strategy he developed was sound and ultimately led to a settlement. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. As a relatively newer attorney with about a year of focused practice, there were times when I felt the communication lagged. Responses to emails could take several days, and updates on case developments were not always proactive. While I never doubted his legal competence or dedication to the file's outcome, managing client expectations and maintaining a steady flow of information seemed to be an area still developing. For straightforward legal work in Dallas on a workers' comp matter, he knows his stuff, but be prepared to follow up periodically for status reports.
