I have refrained from commenting upon this review, but it's only fair that I respond. An attorney relies on his client to provide necessary information in a timely manner. In this particular case, the client did not live up to her end of the bargain on the front end, and, as a result, the project was somewhat delayed in getting started. This delay, however, did not jeopardize the client's position. In fact, the client informed me in a discussion after our initial meeting that the circumstances that had caused her to hire me improved. The suggestion that there was no "follow-up or communication" is patently unfair. As far as phone calls are concerned, there was a period of a couple of weeks during which I was out of the office and somewhat unavailable due to illness. I caught up with phone messages as quickly as possible upon my return to my office. The irony here is that I had offered the client more than one solution to the client's problem and related issues. My office had everything ready to proceed once the client made a decision regarding options that I had suggested. Unfortunately, the client seemingly was uninterested in moving forward. I only billed for the time I had invested the matter, and the balance of the client's retainer was returned to her promptly.
