of mine who was persuaded by them into making a complaint against me while I was actually trying to put the matter right.<BR/>I admitted my mistake,the client accepted it as a closure, along with my offer of compensation but the Law Society chose to hound me further for two years in an attempt to kill my business and remove me from the roll.<BR/>Since you have featured the problems of an English solicitor with our own professional body,I wonder if you would be good enough to let me have a say against the Law Society of Scotland?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20722989.post-19348753982495331142008-03-07T15:26:00.000+00:002008-03-07T15:26:00.000+00:00More trouble for the Law Society,Good.More
