Solicitors play a key role in communities across Scotland, YES AUSTIN LIKE BLOCKING ACCESS TO THE COURTS WHEN THEIR COLLEAGUES STEAL CLIENTS MONEY. They provide a range of essential services such as helping with buying and selling a property or making a will and can often provide a lifeline when someone is in the greatest need of help and advice. LIKE MRS FRANCIS, SOME LIFELINE TORTURING AN OLD LADY FOR £100.00.<br /><br />I used to watch Austin on the telly and I would never trust him or any of the rabble he is president of. <br /><br />So folks if your lawyer has stolen your mothers money from her house she was leaving you in her will kiss it goodbye, Austin will be annoyed he did not get to your mothers assets first. <br /><br />Not much honour being in charge of the wolfpack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20855066.post-17867984721383730632012-06-22T01:26:23.358+01:002012-06-22T01:26:23.358+01:00Hamilton Advertiser 21 June 2012.
One of Austin&#...Hamilton Advertiser 21 June 2012.<br /><br />One of Austin's colleagues [a Mr Grant] has been elected to the Law Society Council. Lafferty said "I am delighted to welcome Jack to the council as the new member for Hamilton and Lanark. I have known Jack as a much admired colleague and friend in Lanarkshire for more decades than either of us will care to remember". <br /><br />Where much admired colleages and friends look after each other what chance does a client have when a complaint goes to the Law Society. Please note I am making the point from Lafferty's comments but I am not accusing either man of any wrongdoing. <br /><br />It is just that much admired colleagues and friends throughout the profession does not = a much admired client who complains. So much for self regulation. I think Lafferty's comment speaks volumes why self regulation can never work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
