Experienced and knowledgeable, but communication was inconsistent

Stephen Hall handled a complex insurance coverage dispute for my business following property damage. His deep expertise in insurance law, honed over four decades, was evident, and his recognition by Best Lawyers is well-deserved. The legal strategy was sound. However, managing expectations on timelines and response times was a challenge. While the outcome was ultimately satisfactory, the process required more proactive updates than I anticipated. For straightforward, high-stakes insurance litigation, his experience is valuable, but be prepared to follow up regularly.
