Agreed to pay monthly and then decided a full balance was required within 7 days during covid-19. Did not do anything to help assist my sons safety and welfare. Good at taking lots of money. Staff not helpful. A joke

Absolutely useless. Didn't help whatsoever, if anything, using this firm made things worse. After getting a second opinion, it proved my conviction was wrong and this firms representation was no use whatsoever. Never again will I use this firm, nor would I ever recommend them to anyone else. If I could give 0 stars for the pathetic service I received then I would. Don't waste your time, especially if you're on legal aid.

After, what in my opinion was a long drawn out case lasting over a year, we had to change companies which then finalised satisfactoraly.
