Hi
Please can someone advise?
We had the misfortune to encounter a solicitor who failed to perform his duties and basically lied regarding same. We approached the law society and only for their intervention we would still be twiddling our thumbs..waiting...waiting....waiting, you get the picture. The law soc recorded 'professional negligence' against him. We have suffered various losses; and without a lot of time, effort and goodwill generated could have suffered dire consequences. We wish to pursue said solicitor.
I spoke to another solicitor who tells me that we may need a lawyer. Please can someone tell me the difference between a lawyer and solicitor and advise what our initial approach should be? Has anyone successfully sued a solicitor, was it drawn out, expensive?
Many thanks
