Positive Experience with Becky
One reviewer, Julie Anne Hatch, had a positive experience with Becky, a solicitor who was described as "a great person and a breath of fresh air, genuine, kind, lovely and warm". Becky's assistance in court was greatly appreciated, and Julie Anne Hatch recommends this solicitor to everyone.
Issues with Diane Conway and the Law Firm
On the other hand, Paul Graham had a negative experience with Diane Conway, a caseworker allocated to his case. He claims that Conway was involved in a drink-driving incident, which raised concerns about her ability to represent him in a crown court case. Graham also alleges that Conway's actions caused him significant stress, and he had to fight his own defence harder than the prosecution. He accuses Conway of being unprofessional, discriminatory, and lacking integrity. Graham also expresses frustration with the law firm, claiming that they tried to blackmail him when he complained about Conway's actions.
Lack of Professionalism and Integrity
Graham's review highlights several issues with Conway's conduct, including showing up late to conferences, taking private calls during meetings, and providing questionable advice. He believes that Conway and the law firm need to change their attitudes towards clients, as their actions can have dire effects on those who have already experienced trauma.
