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.

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.
