Competent and knowledgeable, but communication could improve

Mr. Fleming handled a complex compliance review for our small medical practice. His deep knowledge of healthcare law and his long-standing recognition in the field were evident. He clearly understood the nuances of fraud and abuse regulations, which was our primary concern. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal. While his advice was sound, we often experienced delays in receiving responses to our emails, and his explanations were sometimes more technical than we needed. For straightforward legal guidance, he is certainly capable, but you may need to be proactive in managing communication expectations. His decades of experience at HunterMaclean are an asset, but the client service aspect felt just adequate.
