Competent but Room for Improvement

I contacted Susan Ridgeway of Hall & Evans LLC for assistance with a commercial litigation matter. Her extensive experience in civil litigation and recognition in commercial law provided a solid foundation for my case. Susan's depth of knowledge in state and federal courts was evident, and she handled the complexities of the situation with professionalism. However, while she was competent, I found the communication somewhat inconsistent. Responses to my queries were often delayed, which made it difficult to stay fully informed throughout the process. Additionally, while the outcome was satisfactory, I felt the wait times between updates could have been more balanced. For someone with 41 years of experience, I expected a bit more proactive engagement. Overall, Susan is a capable attorney, but I would suggest working closely with her to ensure timelier communication and a more collaborative approach. Her expertise in construction and corporate law is undeniable, but the experience could have been smoother with better follow-through.
