Disappointing Experience
Reviews of this firm are overwhelmingly negative, with one reviewer sharing a terrible experience that left a lasting impression. The tone of the review is one of frustration and disappointment, with the reviewer expressing their sorrow at having to share their story.
Lack of Professionalism
The reviewer, NickJohnson, rates the firm 1 star out of 5 and advises against using the firm due to the unprofessional behavior of the staff. The receptionist, Julie, and lawyer, Tony, were described as being more concerned with lining their pockets than with providing genuine assistance to clients. The reviewer found both Julie and Tony to be short and rude, making them feel unwelcome and unvalued.
Unhelpful and Unsupportive
The review highlights a particularly distressing experience, where the reviewer was left feeling belittled and unhelped by the firm. The lawyer, Tony, was said to have lectured the reviewer about their alleged speeding offence instead of providing guidance and support. This lack of empathy and understanding left the reviewer feeling more grief-stricken than they were already.
