Simon-Alexandre Poitras

Competent on construction law, but communication was inconsistent

I hired Simon-Alexandre Poitras to assist with a contractual dispute with a subcontractor on a commercial build-out in Charlotte. My case involved significant delays and cost overruns, and I was drawn to his profile noting his focus on Construction Law and his recognition in related legal fields. Mr. Poitras demonstrated clear, seasoned knowledge of construction contracts and the specific liabilities involved. His analysis of the project documentation was thorough, and he provided a solid strategy that ultimately led to a reasonable settlement. However, the experience was marked by inconsistent communication. There were periods of several days where updates were not forthcoming, requiring me to follow up multiple times. While his legal guidance was technically sound, managing expectations around timelines and response windows was an area that felt just adequate. For straightforward construction legal matters, his expertise is evident, but be prepared to be proactive in staying informed. The outcome was satisfactory, which is why I'm giving this rating, but the process could have been smoother with more consistent client liaison.
