Competent on commercial real estate financing

Spencer Katona handled the refinancing for our small commercial property in Richmond. His knowledge of lending transactions, as you'd expect from a Super Lawyers Rising Star, was solid. The work was thorough, but communication sometimes lagged, with a few days between email replies. For a straightforward deal, his expertise from Spotts Fain was adequate, though the process felt a bit slower than anticipated. He's clearly capable, but the overall experience was just satisfactory.
