Hi everyone,
My current solicitor has generally been ok, but over the last 3 months they've become very slow to respond and not proactive with my case.
Can anyone recommend a good solicitor?
Thanks!
Hi, I wouldn't recommend, I think your better off self representing. you can contact me if you need advice.
I don't have direct contact with mum, all communication is through solicitors and I intend to keep it that way. Mother is extremely manipulative and controlling.
ok, as your case is moving along, ask Cafcass/judge can both of you communicate with a parenting app. using solicitors long term will cost you a fortune.
You can read the guides on the advicenow.org.uk website for family matters and self representing. Do you have any friends/colleagues who can recommend anyone if you prefer that route?
I have exhausted friends/family, no one wants to be in direct contact with her. She is very narcissistic and controlling, she enjoys causing maximum pain. On email she is controlling, demanding and constantly sending threatening emails. The solicitor provides me with a barrier from her which is worth the money in my opinion.
