But now I can shout CRIMINALS as loud as I want.....as Mr Desmond Hudson and his 'courtiers' appear to have confirmed that it is fine to brandish around such allegations. But I am still a little worried about shouting CRIMINAL because I fear that it is only right to do so, if the person is clearly NOT a criminal, or doesn't mind repeating the allegations themselves. Unfortunately, I fear that 'my' Solicitors would not fall into either category. I always feel very perplexed at the seeming duplicity of thought that SOME in the legal profession exhibit but I assume this must have arisen from the seemingly perpetual conflicts of interests that they are embroiled in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-72019936939172290882011-10-25T14:29:00.127+01:002011-10-25T14:29:00.127+01:00'To the Anonymous English Solicitor poster'...'To the Anonymous English Solicitor poster'<br /><br />22 October 2011 12:07<br /><br />Fantastic contribution and one that is seems to be genuinely provided by an honest English Lawyer, as evidenced by the apparent naive bubble from which you perceive. (This is more a compliment and testiment to the fact you are honest).<br /><br />You see, Des Hudson knows (as do the Law Society of Scotland Office Bearers) that most lawyers are crooked.<br /><br />This is why he MUST go on the offensive against SFH and similarly why the Judge MUST repel any notion of Rick Kordowski's success.<br /><br />It is precisely because crooked lawyers have been 'protected' and allowed to flourish unabated for years that now 'the public interest test' has to be applied in the most counter-intuitive way because it would no longer be 'safe' for the public to know what has been going on behind their backs in, which is unlawful to protect lawyers!<br /><br />It would be most honest of you to reflect on this truth and that you were not prepared to represent Rick Kordowski or post your name (like all the other anonymous posters). The reality being that these people could put your honest lawyers practice with goodwill out of business within weeks!

No response.<br />2. Complete denial of the allegations.<br />3. Threats of litigation against me.<br />4. Solicitor/client confidentiality issues.<br /><br />Further, The Law Society reported me and this website to the Police. I was interviewed by two detectives from New Scotland Yard (4 hrs) who insinuated that ‘verification’ before or after publishing could be construed as extortion.<br /><br />Verification from the complainant is all I will ever get, invariably because solicitors cannot or will not co-operate at any level.<br /><br />Rick Kordowski<br /><br />Would anyone like to comment on:<br />How this website is ‘harassing’ the listed solicitors.<br />How is it that publishing ‘reviews’ is a breach of the Data Protection Act.<br />(I am a registered data controller at the ICO)<br /><br />Rick as you know true postings have the defence of veritas (Truth) in defamation law. So they say you are harrassing solicitors because they cannot take you to court for postings such as Warning all law firms read this, or lawyers names because of their corrupt insurance arrangements.
