Benjamin Howard
Our company engaged Slates Veazey after a significant payment dispute arose with a general contractor on a commercial build-out in Jackson. From the outset, Slates’ deep understanding of Mississippi construction law was evident. He leveraged his 18 years of experience, particularly his focus on representing owners, to develop a strategy that was both aggressive and pragmatic. His recognition in the legal community, including his noted work in emerging areas, speaks to his broad capability. Slates was meticulous in preparing our case, explaining the litigation process clearly without oversimplifying the complex insurance coverage issues involved. We achieved a very favorable settlement without needing a protracted trial. The only slight critique would be that during the busiest phases, communication could sometimes take a day to receive a response, but his replies were always thorough and actionable. I would confidently recommend him for any business litigation, especially in the construction sector.
