My Common Law and I obtained services through Legal Aid and for almost 9 months, nothing positive happened for our legal problems. Bail Hearings were improperly booked as Detention Review Hearings (immigration issue, my CIL is first nation). Paperwork was never submitted to the judge ie. support letters, job confirmation letters, medical letters. I had to make sure we had everything prepared including addressing the judge because the lawyer was not bringing up the proper points and information. Speaking with the lawyer one on one was a fiasco, never being able to get a word in edgewise, and never listening to anything we had to say. We never received disclosure, nor in the 9 months was a plea given. I am happy they quit, just angry at the lack of professionalism and tact they use and the waste of 9 months trusting and believing in their ability to defend my CIL to the best of their ability. Our lives were in their hands, and they treated us really ugly and in all honesty like we didnt matter, perhaps its because we were legal aid and they arent paid well. Bad experience overall.
Was very difficult to speak with, refused services and refused to honour legal aids directives.
Several deals with them, very good
HAD MY CASE SINCE 22 JULY AND KEEP PHONING AND EMAILING ON MY STATUES WITH NO REPLIES AND ON nOVEMBER 9TH GET A EMAIL THAT HE WILL BE MOVING FIRMS AND NO ONE ELSE CAN TAKE MY CASE AND STICKS ME WITH A $600.00 BILL........FOR WHAT, NOTHING WAS DONE... ALL IT WAS WAS A LETTER!!!!!!!
I must say that they did a 1 hour consultation with me at no charge. But The lawyer I talked to came across as if I was bothering him, he basically could have been a teacher and just read me the law from a book, emotionless, and sent me on my way. I left feeling like I was not nor was I going to be a valued client. I will not go back here.
