Dismissal and lack of professionalism
Extremely poor and unprofessional experience with the family law department. I came seeking help regarding emotional abuse and child safety concerns, but the solicitor completely minimized my situation. Instead of being honest about their lack of expertise in domestic abuse, they pushed a dangerous solution (mediation) with a partner who is in deep denial. The consultation was rushed, dismissive, and entirely lacking in trauma-informed care. Avoid this firm if you need real protection.To make matters worse, at the end of the appointment, the solicitor refused to take payment when I explicitly offered it. No Client Care Letter or contract was ever provided or signed. Yet, the moment I instructed the firm to close my file, they retroactively demanded a surprise payment and are now holding my original personal documents hostage, refusing to return them unless I pay. Highly dishonest and predatory business practices. The specific solicitor responsible for this dangerous advice, lack of trauma-informed care, and predatory financial behaviour was Kevin Dobson.
