David Johnson
Our small business engaged Suzanna Baker to assist with the acquisition of a commercial property in Flowood, a process that involved navigating some complex zoning and financing issues. With her 44 years of experience and her recognition in real estate and commercial finance law, her technical competence was never in doubt. She drafted the necessary agreements and coordinated with our lender efficiently. However, the experience felt somewhat transactional. While she was always professional, communication sometimes had delays, and we often had to follow up for updates. For a firm of Phelps Dunbar's stature and an attorney with her NYU LL.M. background, we expected a slightly more proactive and accessible partnership. She successfully closed the deal, which is paramount, but the process felt more like adequate execution than a truly collaborative client relationship. She is undoubtedly knowledgeable, especially in commercial real estate and finance matters, but managing client expectations could be improved.
