Knowledgeable but communication could be more consistent

I engaged Susan Pitchford at Chernoff Vilhauer to handle a trademark dispute for my small business. Her expertise in trademark law is evident, and her recognition as a Lawyer of the Year in that field was a primary reason for my choice. She provided a solid legal strategy and her analysis of the opposition was thorough. However, my experience was mixed. While the legal work itself was competent, I sometimes found communication to be less proactive than I expected. There were periods where I had to follow up for updates, and responses to emails could be delayed, which added to my stress as a client. The billing was clear, but at times I questioned whether certain tasks required the level of senior attention billed. For straightforward legal matters, her decade of experience and patent/copyright accolades certainly provide a strong foundation. For my needs, the service was adequate and resolved my issue, but the client experience aspect felt just satisfactory, not exceptional.
