Am still trying to deal with the way my case was handled. There's to much to list but here's a few, didn't stand up for me in court, paperwork not submitted on time then I was blamed, didn't listen to the fact that I was abused, physically and mentally. Didn't make a case for me, questioned them and was threatened with no longer being represented, was yelled at when I tried to explain things. Never listened, exhusband wiped the floor with me and they did nothing and I apparently had a senior solicitor. All I can say is, do absolutely everything in your power to find a different place to represent you. Am now homeless and being told it was in my favour by a percentage that anyway you add it up is nowhere near what they say I got. A vulnerable woman that asked for help and thought she would get represented properly and didn't. They get funded to nothing except giving them a huge wage. I will be taking the matter further. A exhusband that's on a fortune that abused me and it didn't matter. Someone said bulldogs in high heels and lipstick, they got it dead right.
