Expect to be shunned by every lawyer and their unions because that is what will happen, that is the way it is. The Law Society know every lawyer in Scotland has been reported to them many times and the place should be shut down. But the MSP's God they are worse than the Law Society, just ask one to help you and you will see what I mean. Self regulation is there to bypass public scrutiny of lawyers conduct with two outcomes.<br /><br />They steal legally and no one is allowed to know about it. <br /><br />You clients are ruined legally, oh yes it's legal and that is what makes it worse. Self regulation makes it legal to steal with impunity which is why they want to keep it. <br /><br />Stay away from lawyers for your health wealth and sanity.
