Competent but Communicative Gaps
I retained Stephen R. Lancaster for a complex breach of contract dispute involving a commercial property transaction. His 39 years of experience in litigation were evident—he understood the nuances of both contract law and title insurance disputes better than most. However, while his legal strategy was sound, I often felt left in the dark about case progress. Responses to my emails took longer than expected, and updates were sometimes vague. The outcome was favorable, but the communication gaps made the process more stressful than necessary. His expertise in high-stakes litigation (as noted by his 'Lawyer of the Year' awards) was clear, but I’d have preferred more transparency. Competent, but not the most communicative counsel I’ve worked with.
