Unsatisfactory Experience
The reviews highlight a disturbing pattern of unprofessional behavior and poor client care exhibited by a particular law firm. Clients' Needs Ignored, the firm prioritizes their own convenience over client satisfaction, disregarding even basic obligations. Reviewers have experienced Inadequate Communication, with unresponsiveness, lack of interest in their cases, and no correspondence.
Cruel Treatment of Clients
The most egregious incident involves a client seeking advice on a serious legal matter, only to be met with Uncompassionate and Unprofessional Attitude. The solicitor's behavior is described as making the client feel like a criminal, with the solicitor even threatening to terminate the call. Furthermore, the firm's reluctance to draft a simple letter outlining relevant legislation is deemed Unreasonable.
Negative Consequences
The consequences of this poor service are far-reaching. Reviewers have expressed Shocked, Disappointed, and Disgusted by the treatment they received. The legal Ombudsman was contacted to complain, and clients are left feeling Betrayed and Untrusted. These incidents have led to a loss of faith in the legal profession.
Exceptional Service
Hay Cassels, on the other hand, has set a high standard with its 24-Year-Long Relationship with a satisfied client. The reviewer praises the firm's Thorough Professionalism, Enduring Reliability, and Friendly Attentiveness, noting that they have been a client since 1997. This proves that good legal services are possible, making the poor reviews all the more regrettable.
