Extremely Slow & Totally Incompetent
Most civil law firms are incompetent, extremely slow and extremely expensive. In my fairly wide experience those traits have applied to ALL of them thus far, but I am prepared to accept that there may be the odd exception out there somewhere.
In the case of Legal National, they are probably THE slowest and THE most incompetent. I'm not sure about their costs because I am externally funded.
They took on a fairly simple straightforward data breach case of mine in 2020. To cut a long story short, they practically never contact me. When they do, I get someone who is completely clueless regarding the case and totally unprofessional. In each case they promise to aquaint themselves better with the details and contact me back. To date, nobody ever has !
The last contact I had was from a mis-informed individual who thought I had failed to return a form sent some months earlier. Eventually he conceded that I had in fact returned it, apologised and promised that the case would now be expedited and probably concuded in the coming weeks or months. That was 3 years ago !!
I have now received a letter from an immigrant stating he or she is a partner in the company and that they are ceasing their involvement in that area of legal work and passing my case on.
I am not sure what area of legal work they are going to be messing - sorry getting involved with, but I strongly suggest avoiding them like the plague. Stopping someone in the street and asking them to represent you would probably be far more efficient
