Adequate representation for a complex business restructuring

I engaged Stephen Kindseth and his firm, Zeisler & Zeisler, to handle a Chapter 11 reorganization for my small manufacturing company in Bridgeport. His deep expertise in bankruptcy litigation is evident; his three Lawyer of the Year recognitions are well-earned, and his three decades of experience provided a solid foundation for our case. The legal strategy was sound, and we achieved the necessary restructuring. However, the experience felt somewhat transactional. Communication was not as proactive as I had hoped; updates often came only after I initiated contact, and response times to emails could be lengthy. While I never doubted his legal acumen in creditor negotiations, managing client expectations and accessibility could be improved. For straightforward, high-level legal work, he is competent, but be prepared to be your own project manager.
