Report
Absolutely unprofessional service. My partner made appointment week in advance in Portadown office and today, just one hour before the meeting she received the call from reception that the appointment has been cancelled. With no other explanation. And no real help to find another date. Receptionist seemed happy when advised we will look for another solicitor.
