So,
I had a neighbour dispute and had to get a lawyer to help me out. I found one through google search. I read some of his internet published articles on boundary disputes etc, called him up, chatted, thought he could help the matter.
White man, early 50s. At some point early on in our dealings he also revealed t me he had a mixed race son when he showed me a picture of his son and girlfriend (black woman). I was pregnant at the time. It seemed a bit like 'I have black family you know!' but it was done under the guise of 'oh pregnancy, family, let me show you mine'. Ho hum.
Anyway, he has NOT done a good job for me at all. I have many complaints, but on elf them is that in an email to me he was once wrote that these problems with neighbours are the be expected in areas such as mine (I paraphrase because I don't want an internet search to bring up his actual words). I was taken aback, I asked he what he meant and he did not respond.
So, in complaining to his firm, I raised this issue. His firm responded to this part of the complaint with a quote from him. In this quote he says he upholds equality and inclusiveness in his life and gives the following examples:
- son is MR
- fiancee is East Asian
- mother was Dutch
- Parents were working class
- he lives in Dulwich
- diversity among friends
I'M INCENSED!
I need to take this further. Do you have any advice on my next step? This is definite WTFF territory for me. I won't be able to let this go. I know it. Please help me. I thought about getting in touch with a black lawyers association for a response that would give mine more weight and also because I am not calm at all right now. Also here because so many of you are kick arse.
I need to breathe now. I can't believe I paid this solicitor thousands already. I don't want to give him another penny.
