Critical: Quality, Value Was charged 826 for being introduced to a 500 barrister. Utterly unjustified. Wouldn't recommend this company at all.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH LMP SOLICITORS FOR YEARS. THE ARE UNPROFESSIONAL TO SAY THE LEAST. I AM NOT USING STRONGER WORDS SINCE THIS WILL ALLOW THEM TO ASK GOOGLE TO REMOVE MY COMMENTS.UNTIL VERY RECENTLY THEY HAD VERY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK BUT INSTEAD OF REPLYING THEY HAD THESE DELETED BY GOOGLE. THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK CURRENTLY SHOWED IS CLEARLY FAKE AND DONE BY LMP ITSELF. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. PLENTY OF MUCH BETTER SOLICITORS AVAILABLE. WOULD YOU RELY IN A FIRM THAT DELETE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK AND POST FAKE POSITIVE ONE? LOOK ON OTHER REVIEW WEBSITE WHERE YOU WILL FIND ONLY VERY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK.

Report
In my opinion very unprofessional, unreliable and expensive. In particular their solicitor Julian Ribet proved to be unethical and happy to break the rules for his own ego and wallet without any respect for Judges, parties involved and the code of practice he must adhere too. They had loads of negative reviews in the past. LMP also have a very high turnover of personnel perhaps indicating that is also a terrible place where to work. There are plenty of better and cheaper divorce layers in London.
