Spencer Lucas represented me in a complex product liability case involving a defective medical device. His deep experience, particularly his recognition in mass tort and product liability litigation, was evident. He clearly understood the intricate legal landscape and his 21 years at a firm like Panish Shea Ravipudi showed in his strategic approach. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal. While I never doubted his legal acumen, there were periods of several weeks where I received no updates unless I initiated contact. My expectations for client communication, especially given the stressful nature of a wrongful death suit, were only partially met. He secured a reasonable settlement, but the journey there felt more distant than I had hoped from a partner-level attorney.
