After an extended and frustrating engagement regarding the estate planning for my elderly parents, I feel compelled to document the significant professional shortcomings in the legal services provided by the practitioner with the initials MT. Throughout our interactions, the level of responsiveness and client communication has been unacceptably poor. Multiple attempts to initiate substantive dialogue regarding the critical matter of my parents' will have been systematically ignored. Emails remain unanswered, telephone inquiries go unreturned, and the overall professional conduct demonstrates a profound disregard for client needs and expectations. The documents contained basic errors, which further undermined our confidence in the legal service provided. Moreover, the consultation process was deeply unsatisfactory, leaving my elderly parents confused about the terms that had been discussed, the services they were receiving, and the financial commitments they were undertaking. The delay and lack of engagement are particularly concerning given the sensitive nature of estate planning for vulnerable elderly clients. Effective legal representation requires not just technical expertise, but also compassion, communication, and a commitment to timely resolution. At this point, we have exhausted all conventional avenues of communication and are left with no alternative but to seek resolution through public disclosure of our experience. It is our sincere hope that this review will prompt a meaningful response and ultimately ensure that other clients do not encounter similar challenges.
I had my first Will done and was very happy with Maryam's professional services. Maryam explained all the jargon and terminology patiently and was very calm and responsive to all my queries. I would highly recommend them!
Required assistance with suspected maladministration of a deceased estate. Maryam was excellent. Calm, efficient, sound advice and took the time and care required. Very appreciative of all her help and guidance. Would highly recommend. Thanks L and B
Selling our house was a traumatic experience. Maryam never got tired of explaining the procedure and successfully negotiated an early release of the deposit. Most efficient!
As the appointed executor of my mother's will, I appointed Pearce Webster Dugdales to distribute the proceeds of the estate. PWD acted on my behalf professionally and satisfactorily. In particular, I greatly appreciated the expertise of Bradley Cunningham and Kay O'Hara. I cannot thank them both enough for dealing with some issues which proved to be complex. I would highly recommend PWD and would not hesitate to appoint them in the future.
