Report
A legal service which promotes Itself as a representative for people with mental health and other vulnerabilities but does in fact look to charge it's clients 150/hour when "legal aid" doesn't cover the work! Staff are hostile, lack empathy and are the legal equivalent of immoral fraudsters.

FIND ANY OTHER PLACE TO SOLVE YOUR LEGAL ISSUE. This place is a joke. Went here in February to avoid a matter escalating Futher, After weeks of calls trying to talk to someone, "They will call you back" that phone call never comes, Months of non-contact my legal issue escalated, You send a email you get a reply 4 weeks later! As I said this place is a joke.
