Corrupt Lawyers

I sold my home and used Robert Thompson’s and Partners Solicitors to carry out the conveyancing. The senior partner Mr Kennedy and an employee Hubert Rodney carried out the work. At the end of the conveyancing and in breach of the contract agreement, Rodney used my entire proceeds of sale to purchase a home in Taunton Somerset for him and his family. He used the rest of the money to invest in property development.

I instructed another firm of solicitors AGS to recover the money. Instead of helping me with my legal problem they set me up. They concocted a fictitious case, took it to the High Court and charged me over £30,000. They then insisted that I instructed them to do what they had done. It took me over five years to figure out how they had hoodwinked me into their fraud.

I took legal action against AGS as a litigant in person and won the case against them for negligence. Unfortunately the judge covered up for them and awarded me £5 compensation. AGS had previously offered me £15,000 which could not cover my losses. Because the judge awarded me less than the sum offered by AGS by default I was liable to pay their entire cost, which amounted to over £90,000. I did not have that kind of money.

At the time I was living with my family and had several children under the age of 18. The firm could not legally make me homeless because of the children. They settled for £30,000 otherwise they would have had to wait until my youngest child reached 18.

In total I had to pay the firm over £60,000 for the fraud they had used to rip me off.

I followed the law society’s complaints procedure. It took me over six years to realise that the entire process is just an elaborate cover up designed to protect solicitors.

My solicitor DM lied in legal documents and in court under oath. I reported him to the police for Perjury but the police would not investigate.

The Law Society do not investigate fraud against its members you have to find between £50,000-£100,000 for legal representation if you wish to take them to court. Even if you had the money and found a firm to represent you, they would milk you for every penny they could get and abandon your case without giving you any legal advice.

Unlimited finance is available through the Solicitors Indemnity Fund insurers to provide legal representation for solicitors.

I first set up Corruptlawyers.co.uk to expose AGS who are now very well established. They threatened me and my hosting company with legal action and I was forced to remove their name from the site. Without their name on the site, it no longer served any purpose therefore I closed it down.

If you are ripped off by your solicitors, it is very unlikely you will ever recovery any money. There are no organisations set up to investigate solicitor’s fraud. The police will investigate commercial fraud but they are not interested in consumer fraud.

It is a waste of time taking a firm of solicitors to court for negligence because a dishonest judge can legally award you minimal damages to make sure that the solicitor’s reputation remains intact.

For this reason dishonest solicitors make a very comfortable living out of fraud. Charging between £100-£1000 per hour, knowing that they can get away with it.

No record is kept of solicitor’s fraud and nobody in a position to stop it is prepared to do anything about it.

In 2004 the monopoly that solicitors had on giving legal advice was taken away from them. We no longer have to rely on them for legal advice.
