corrupt solictiors

In your opinion, we will see how the blogsopher develops, the Jury is out on that one. I take my guidance from Guido, Huffington Post, Drudge Report, Iain Dale amongst others, Who are you referencing?
Bill O Riley has sorted out the Hypocrisy of the legal establishment in the USA or rather called them to account and forced changes. But he has a News channel.

And one of the things you haven't understood or accepted about the Blogosphere is the fact people are who they want to be. There are senior politicians commenting on Guidos blog under pseudo names. It wasn't your post I was referencing it just sounded like a solicitor. I find this forum a bit awkward to follow possibly because I am not familiar with it.

I feel I have to say something in this section. Amanda puts tons of time in on this site, totally without payment and she helps many people with her free advice which we all very much appreciate. I am sure as in any profession that people can be taken advantage of but this is not one of them and good advice is given as to how to complain through the proper channels. The support service offered and free phone consultation offered further demonstrates the commitment of other solicitors and if they were to withdraw their time or advice a lot of us would be upset.

Please, understand that we sympathise with your situation and the costs involved but attacking the entire legal profession is like attacking all doctors because one slipped with a scalpel. Please just end this one, its fruitless.

Nice sentiments that cant be argued with, but until such a time as this matter has been PROPERLY delt with I will not shut up. I will leave the forum alone shortly, I am all over the internet because it is the only tool that I have. I cant change anything about my family that is done, FIVE years stolen forever, but I am sure as hell going to get some good and change for the better out of all this.
So Far the profession FULLY aware of the facts are Sympathetic and that is not GOOD enough. As Amanda quite rightly says, she worked really hard and takes her responsibilities very seriously. This is an issue of Professional standards and the profession refusing to face up to it.

And the stunning silence from the rest of them speaks volumes, lets leave it to Amanda. Where is the SFLA?? No Judges out there??

Arnie,

I think that the reason you are struggling a little to engage the generally Wikivorce members on this topic is that the vast majority are right in the midst of their divorce.

What they need from Wikivorce is holistic support and advice on the range of challenges one faces during divorce: including emotional, financial, legal and practical issues.

This support is voluntarily provided by:
- other people going through divorce
- those who have made it through the process
- and a good number of current or ex-legal professionals

People here are in general dealing with the 'here and now' of their current situation.

In time many I am sure will look back on their experience and feel a lot of empathy with some of your complaints/concerns - but right now, for many, their focus is on getting their own lives back on track.

Hello Everyone!

Well if what AS says is true then I feel he has every right to feel aggrieved. Not a good advert for the legal profession, but AS please believe that not all the professionals in any one profession are representative of the one you encountered.

I have my beef with the legal profession and I may rant too but not now.

AS, in your shoes I think I'd be pretty much doing what you are now - the gross injustice of it would all move me to do all that I could to reveal it to anyone who would listen.

As DBNO quite reasonably states and with no great insight (no slight intended DBNO, it is just painfully obvious) that the majority of contributors to this site have a great deal on their minds closer to home than taking on the generally perceived no-responsibility high-fee culture of the legal profession.

Wikivorce is a new site that is the sum of its contributors. Who knows, perhaps in time it may become a force to be reckoned with. I do hope so and I wish you success in your fight what you believe.


Sealion,

In the nicest possible way I would point out that European aristocracy is so inter-related that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth is probably descended from any Dark Age King you may care to mention, Saxon ones included. In any event I don't understand your point.

YA

Great Post Thank you
AS
Journey to the centre of the earth

Third biggest post since feb in hits in this category.
So come on all you professionals its not all up to Amanda. Defend it, tell it me how it is fair, tell me why it is not dual standards, tell me why THE LAW SOCIETY overlooked this behaviour. Resolution where are you????? (I am blogging their performance very soon, a complete buggers muddle, a totally dysfunctional organisation)
Third biggest post deserves your attention. Re assure all the people that are going into divorce reading this post that the solicitors are going to act with Honesty and integrity and if not they will be punished.
People Contact me by email and I will give you my blog address, wikivorce cant let me post that here and I fully appreciate there reasons. This is the beginning of a very good web space. Nice Coding, good server, a bit over moderated, my advice get a solicitor to write a disclaimer they are quite good at those


I forgot to mention I have linked the offending firm to this post and silence...... speaks volumes.......live blog on their domain since August 2007 and loads more vicious than anything I have posted here and NOTHING!!!! No comment, it is pathetic.
