Smart and talented, just sloppy

Ridley did some great work for my company, but we eventually had to switch lawyers. His work was late and sloppy, causing us to devote time proof reading his work and returning for corrections multiple times. Later, after engaging another corporate attorney, we had problems getting our documents from... Michael. Still have not got them all...
