In all seriousness I'm convinced my Mrs throws mine out after a period (of time). I've purchased about 15 and have no idea where about 10 of them are.

Fuctifano Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Always good to ask for legal advice on here haha... we've been trying to get a hold of a lawyer who's been doing some work for my mum to get an update on the file for about 3 weeks now- I must have phoned on about 8 occasions, sent two emails and went into the office in person with a hand-signed letter last week which the receptionist (who was very apologetic) assured me would be looked at- the excuses on the phone are always "he's out of the office / he's working through his messages / I'll let him know you've called on a few occasions". My mum has also phoned twice and been fobbed off as well. Other than just the shite customer service I'm wondering if he's made a bit of a bollocks of what he's doing. I don't really want to engage other lawyers as then the cost just starts to spiral but what the f**k do I do short of doorstepping him or putting a molotov cocktail through his window to get him to reply? Is there a complaints procedure? edit: we've heard nothing for about 4 months, I've only started chasing it up in the new year though so I'm not being hugely impatient Edited February 20 by Fuctifano 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In relation to complaints etc., the firm that your mum are using should have an internal complaints procedure. Details of it should be in your mum's Terms of Business letter, which she should have got at the start of the process. That would need to be followed first I would imagine before the SLCC would get involved. I wouldn't worry too much about seeking another solicitors view on things - there will be solicitors around (we certainly do) where the first appointment is always free. You would find that the original solicitor would probably withdraw from acting if you sought advice elsewhere but it sounds like, in this case, that may be no bad thing. As an aside, from a personal point of view, that kind of wait for your mum and the inaction of the solicitor is woefully bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
