Experienced and capable, but communication could improve

Walter Neilsen at Holland & Knight handled the commercial lease negotiation for my small business expansion in Nashville. His deep experience in real estate law, backed by over three decades of practice and recognition by Best Lawyers, was evident in the thoroughness of the contract review. He identified several potential pitfalls I had missed. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal. Responses to emails were sometimes delayed by several days, and explanations of complex clauses could be brief, leaving me to seek further clarification. For straightforward, high-stakes real estate matters, his Vanderbilt-honed expertise is solid, but be prepared to manage your expectations regarding client communication and timeline.
