“The Law Society's less-than-heroic track-record on complaints has dogged the profession for years. In fact, it could well be its undoing. Sir David Clementi, former deputy governor of the Bank of England, is conducting a review of regulation of the legal profession which reports in December. Which?, the consumers' association, reckons the profession's inability to deal with unhappy clients is 'the greatest threat to self-regulation'.”
AND NOT BEFORE TIME . . . Let’s hope we can rid ourselves of these dishonourable people.

England has a serious problem with organised crime - The Law Society and rogue solicitors ARE the problem. Criminals - committing fraud and theft in England is easy - get a solicitor to help you. If you believe that solicitors belong to an honourable, trustworthy profession, you are gravely mistaken.

When a person assists a criminal in breaking the law before he gets arrested, we call him an accomplice. When a person assists a criminal in breaking the law after the criminal gets arrested, we call him a solicitor.
A Solicitor enters a bar and spots a tasty looking girl sitting on a stool. He walks up to her and says, "Hey there, how's it going?" She turns around, looks him straight in the eye and says, "I'll fuck anyone, any time, anywhere, your place, my place, it doesn't matter."
"Really," he replies. "What firm do you work for?"
What do you call a Solicitor with an IQ of 10 . . . . . . . A Solicitor.

This Web Site is being established to warn people that if they make a complaint to the Law Society about a Solicitor's poor service and incompetency the chances of getting a proper or fair resolution to your complaint is probably about NIL. What you will find is that instead of trying to find any positives in your complaint they will do their very best to make every possible excuse under the sun so that the solicitor will be found not guilty of doing anything wrong.
How can I improve on that?
You cant get into this site probably for legal reasons?

Of all the professions that have evolved in our society, none have ever come close to matching the legal profession for downright deceit and dishonesty. The legal profession is immutable, intransigent, self-protective, unaccountable, incompetent and corrupt.

In their "extreme defence" first of all their Council Catriona "Merciless when necessary". Duthie, St Johns Chambers, Bristol tried lying to the Judge regarding that damning "heading" on their original estimate (the heading that stated they had included costs which were NOT my responsibility and which they had refused to explain to the Law Society or the Judge). However, they didn't push this too far because the Judge said he was tempted to ask for a transcript. If he had done so I'm sure Catriona Duthie would have weaseled out of it by claiming that her memory was at fault. Yeah, Right! It's STILL a misleading lie as far as I'm concerned... it WAS untrue... and she IS on record... trying to mislead a Judge in a family case. Umm, a bit "extreme" when all I wanted was a detailed bill?

Certain business people, their accountants, solicitors and bank managers have been together in a 'ring' for some thirty years in driving people out of business and picking up their business premises, homes, farms, plots of land etc way beneath market value, financed by amongst other things black market and drugs money. Originally it was thought the area was around Aberystwyth, Mid Wales but it quickly became apparent that these scams are widespread throughout the country.

This experience, gained from bitter and hard lessons in dealing with people who you might think were on the side of justice, especially the Law Society, hopefully will forewarn you, and make you more able to seek justice in a prepared manner. . . .Can’t say fairer than that.

On 8th July, 1997, Nolan recommended a statutory criminal offence of misuse of public office to apply to everyone, including "Ministers and Civil Servants; Councillors and Local Government Officers; the police, magistrates and the judiciary; and to non-governmental public bodies."
John Major had promised that he would implement anything Nolan recommended. Tony Blair came to power saying Labour would change what was wrong. But somehow this important change to the way we're governed has fallen by the wayside.
The mystery is not why it was "disappeared" but who-done-it?
Good solid political stuff . . This is what it’s really all about.

If the complaints system was run by an independent and impartial body many more solicitors would be found to be incompetent and have given poor service. The Law Society does not want to happen as it is not in their interest, and thus it controls the complaints procedures itself ,ensuring that the decisions lack what the man on the street would call logic and fairness.

It is a complete and utter waste of time contacting the Legal Ombudsman, as once again staff at the Ombudsman's office like Simon Entwistle, are selected by non other than the Law Society. They are swamped with client complaints, and consequently cannot cope with the influx. It is far easier for them to dismiss a claim, and hope you won't bother them anymore,than to spend time investigating your case. The Law Society and it's members top the list when it comes to "cover ups", simply because they do NOTHING to assist the public in a negligence claim. Judges also "cover up" serious solictor/barrister misconduct, and I have evidence to back up that claim.

The Regulatory Crisis in the Solicitors’ Profession .Mark Davies .Sussex Law School, Uni of Sussex . Self-regulation and discipline by the solicitor’s profession is in crisis. There is evidence of failure at all levels, from the efficient resolution of straightforward complaints, to ensuring the public is not exposed to dishonest solicitors. Changes by the Law Society in recent years have either failed to meet expectations or have diverted resources away from other problems. In this article I draw together a range of criticisms of the current approach to self-regulation and raise the question of whether or not the current regulatory model is sustainable. I will consider whether changes in the size and nature of the solicitors profession has resulted in the need for radical rethinking about the fundamental nature and structure of the regulatory system.
So it’s not just us that’s saying it. The Government know it’s true . . WHY DON’T THEY DO SOMETHING?

Let me expand on the 'English Law Society's' gagging attempts. We have Richard Hegarty, Chair of the Law Society's Compliance Board who we will now refer to as 'Dickie the Chair' who instructed Willoughby & Partners in London E14 9SG with a view to taking action against my hosting company. 'Dickie the Chair' rang me on the 6 Nov '03 trying to intimidate me with the comments I have put on this web site and according to Aman Virk, Manager, Quality & Service Standards at the Office for the Supervision of Solicitors also Richard Thomas, the Information Commissioner, they both say 'Dickie the Chair' was acting on "Law Society business", what does this tell us? Well as 'Dickie the Chair' is acting with the approval of the members of the Law Society Board let me name some of them; Chief Executive of the Law Society (who replied to me on behalf of Peter Williamson) Janet Paraskeva; The President of the Law Society (who I have previously written to) Peter Williamson; Vice President Edward Nally; Deputy Vice President (who told me 'Dickie' "hadn't disappeared") Kevin Martin; July 2004 it's that time when the 'President' line all shove up one. I wonder if that includes 'Dickie the Chair'. As can be seen 'Freedom of Speech' when against the English Law Society is something that is hard to achieve, but then again with 'Ken' our Lord Mayor of London championing the cause, may be its time to send him a letter or an e-mail.
Big site . . this one has run for years . . . I first spotted it a year ago and it gave me the ideas to do my own sites. . . It certainly works . . when I was looking for a Solicitor . . and I only live round the corner . . . I did indeed avoid Thos Boyd Whyte as the site says.

FREE Legal Representation . . . FREE Access to Legal Services. . . .the trouble is they wouldn’t want to rely on that advice . . if they were any good they wouldn’t be on these web sites.

The shape of things to come How sites like mine and those on this page will eventually FORCE the Law Society of England and Wales to DO SOMETHING about their CROOKED profession.
And if they don’t at least we can do something about it in the meantime.
All we ever hear is that there are a few rotten apples. THAT’s NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Solicitors are in a UNIQUE position of trust second only to Banks and the like. People TRUST them with their LIFE SAVINGS.
ANY infraction of that TRUST should be dealt with severely. NOT a wrist slapping “Don’t do it AGAIN.”

These sites were created because Solicitors Ingram Winter Green and Denniss Matthews will not respond to my many letters, and because The Law Society will not investigate all this:-
The reason these sites are still here presumably, is because they are ALL not willing to answer the simple question . . “Did you or did you not conspire with your clients, S J Patel, Nathan & Ruth Teitelbaum of Fineland Properties Ltd, to deliberately LIE, CHEAT and DECEIVE in order to DEFRAUD me of my considerable claims against them?” . . well not in Court anyway. . . lying is one thing . . perjury another. All the content of these sites is based on that premise, and NONE of it has ever been denied or even contested.
For the removal of doubt, I have never called Daniel J Ginsbury “a lying, conniving, scheming piece of pig shit, low life life gutter scum”.
I merely ask the question? If all of the above is true would that make him one? Daniel Ginsbury declines to ans either the former or the latter. It is true that I accuse IWG of being a bunch of total Wankers for allowing these sites to be here and are not able to fathom a way out of this dilemma. Not worthy to call themselves Solicitors in fact.
“I’m sick and tired of bent Solicitors .conspiring with their clients . . . . “ from FRONT page of www.mcp-law.org

June 2006
(six months before they admitted they had conspired to lie to me)
Watch this space. . . I am now going to splatter MCP Law all over the Internet. (do a Google . . . iwg solicitors & you will see what I mean)
I am sick and tired of bent Solicitors conspiring with their clients to defraud, to lie,& to deceive. In order to attempt to defray their clients liabilities. The property mentioned above has now had FOUR different owners since 2003. Each one dumping it on to the next with alacrity . These sleazy property Co’s buy the property cheap. (Or think it is at the time.) Then they employ bent lawyers to try and wriggle out of the liabilities, that go with this ‘bargain’ purchase. Later they regret buying it, but only because of me, and the fight I put up against them..
(the previous lot Fineland Properties Ltd actually advertise for such ‘problem’ properties [see here)
knowing that they and their solicitors IWG have a standing arrangement with Denniss Matthews to conspire and defraud in this manner)
Because of the problems with, and the dispute that has taken place since it was 1st sold.
See a brief History here.
It became more difficult to sell each time. AND a different lie had to be made in order to get round the problem of liability.
When you ask a Solicitor the SIMPLEST of questions that they decline to answer. You know you are on a winner. 1st of all I asked MCP “Did your clients know about the dispute when they purchased the property?” . . MCP still haven’t answered this . . but they did deliberately gave an answer to an entirely different question . . . as if that would do. . . . So I asked “Did you make enquiries before contract?” . . Reply “Our clients bought the property at a public auction” expecting me to think that makes the slightest difference. . . But where they seem to have come unstuck is . . when I asked . . “OK then. Which auction? When?” . . . . that became the last I have heard on the subject. For some reason and I’m pretty sure I know why, they don’t want to answer that one.
When challenged these bent solicitors then hide behind their most effective protection . .
A WALL OF SILENCE. . . you can’t penetrate that wall because the corrupt Law Society won’t intervene. . . . You’re on you’re own pal. . . and they know it. . . . . and normally that wall of silence is very effective indeed. . . .
HOWEVER . . . when you own 10 page 1 Google web-sites as I do . . THEN, that silence becomes a problem for them . . . I have given MCP Law months to come up with a reasonable explanation for the purchase of this property and they have just IGNORED IT. . . as I expected they would of course. . .
SO! they have only themselves to blame for the disdain I now intend to heap on them. . and disdain it will certainly be.

held: . . . "‘The second purpose [of the Tribunal's orders] is the most fundamental
of all: to maintain the reputation of the solicitors' profession as one in which
every member, of whatever standing, may be trusted to the ends of the earth. To maintain
this reputation and sustain public confidence in the integrity of the profession
it is often necessary that those guilty of serious lapses are not only expelled but

The partners were cleared of any deliberate deception, but Rooney was "effectively
described as a thief" and barred from working as a clerk if he ever returns to Britain.
Geoffrey Williams, for the Law Society, claimed the seven knew the firm was heading
for disaster. By the time it was taken over it had liabilities of more than £1m.
He also claimed the partners knew Rooney was crooked but he was allowed to keep his
job. But the partners insisted they were not directly to blame, and the tribunal
accepted their accounts. John Wright, 58, of Sutton, near Hull, was fined £7,500,
Philip Goodall, 47, of Selby, £3,500, Michael East, 56, of Hornsea, £3,500, David
Prescott, 38, also of Hornsea, £3,000, Paul Scott, 45, of York, £2,500, and Malcolm

Senior

Lawyers have been warned they face jail if they fail to report money laundering activities
or clients they suspect are involved. Ram Saroop, the new president of Bradford Law
Society, has pointed out that new legislation makes it a criminal offence not to
do so and lawyers face prison and risk their careers if they are not on their guard.
The new offence is committed where a person knows or suspects funds have been obtained
as a result of terrorism, drug trafficking or other criminal conduct.
Mr Saroop, a

DISGRACED coroner Lionel Skingley has begun a three-year jail sentence for plundering
nearly £1m from clients to fund a champagne lifestyle in Oxfordshire. Skingley, 53,
who lives at Deddington, hung his head in shame as he was sentenced at Knightsbridge
Crown Court. He become the youngest coroner in the UK at the age of 33. But the father-of-three,
who had been coroner for north Kent, systematically dipped into the coffers of clients
from 1989 onwards.

Society of Scotland lobbies Scottish Parliament to pass anti consumer amendments
on LPLA Bill threatening Court action if demands not met
Just imagine you were a politician
for a minute, and someone you knew committed a murder or another serious crime, but
got away with it.This criminal, then came to you, asking you to amend the Law so
they could murder someone else and get away with it, and just to keep themselves
happy, they want you to also write amendments to the Law so they could abuse, murder
& steal to their hearts content - and get away with it.
Would you do it ? Would you
help a murderer or a fraudster or a child abuser, amend the law so they could carry
on murdering, stealing, or abusing and get away with it ?
That is precisely what the
Scottish legal profession is asking MSPs to do today in the Scottish Parliament in
the debate on the Legal Profession & Legal Aid (Scotland) Bill , which aims to bring
independent regulation to the legal profession, and take away the current crooked
self regulation system operated by the Law Society of Scotland - which has seen thousands
of complaints fiddled against crooked lawyers so clients get little or no compensation
while the crooked lawyer gets off the hook from many client
complaints & keeps on
practising & keeps on robbing other clients who cant get anywhere trying to recover
their lost money.

'Rogues gallery' websites to expose mystery pursuer by Paul Rogerson
© The Herald Originally published: 29.11.2004
TWIN websites dedicated to exposing corrupt Scottish lawyers were shut down after
their internet service provider in the US apparently caved in to legal pressure.
Lobby group Scotland Against Crooked Lawyers (Sacl), whose leading light is aristocrat
Stuart Usher, and scottishlawyerwatch, run by former Scottish rugby internationalist
Mike Lloyd, immediately pledged to return to the web within days via another jurisdiction.
They are understood to have switched the sites to China, and the Sacl site (www.sacl.info)
went live again within 24 hours.
Scotland Against Crooked Lawyers, which claims hundreds of members, has run a highly
vocal campaign demanding that the Law Society be banned from investigating complaints
against solicitors.
Usher himself was the subject of a TV documentary focusing on his unproven allegation
that Edinburgh law firm Brodies' stewardship of Borders family estates had cost the
Ushers millions of pounds. A (pounds) 45m claim brought against Brodies was withdrawn
by Usher's legal representatives last year.
Lloyd, who is also webmaster of the Sacl site, was told by American ISP Freewebs
that the provider could not continue to support the sites. They were both taken down
10 days ago.
The letter read: "As you know, we have protected your site for some time from removal
because we deemed it to be within allowable speech under the US Constitution's first
amendment. Unfortunately, the parties you have offended have aggressively pursued
the take-down of this site, and the British free speech laws are not as forgiving.
"We are no longer able to support your website."
Both sites have featured "rogues galleries" of lawyers they allege are corrupt -
including some very eminent members of the Scottish profession. It remained unclear
last night which individuals or firms had brought pressure on Freewebs to shut the
sites. Lloyd said he plans to disclose the identity of the person he believes was
behind the move on the relaunched scottishlawyerwatch.org site shortly.
In a statement, meanwhile, the Law Society of Scotland said it was not responsible,
adding: "The society's only comment on these and other similar sites in the past
has been that solicitors are the very people who support freedom of speech as long
as it is within the parameters of the law, including the laws of defamation."
The Faculty of Advocates also denied any involvement. "The faculty can confirm it
has taken no steps to close these sites," said a spokesman.
Usher told The Herald that similar legal pressure had led to the sites being switched
from the UK to the US 18 months ago. In a statement supplied by Usher, Scotland Against
Crooked Lawyers said: "The (pursuers) must have been very intimidating to cause a
US commercial enterprise to abandon the protection of one of the roots of American
democracy.
"The very fact that the ' aggressive pursuer' chose to close down our website by
secret threats rather than sue SACL for defamation indicates that those Scottish
law firms and individual lawyers appearing in our Rogues Gallery know that they stand
correctly accused of a whole host of illegal and corrupt activities. This precludes
them from suing SACL as this would mean humiliating exposure for them."
The group added: "SACL is delighted that it has forced its opponents into illegal
and secretive methods including intimidation to close its website. SACL suspects
very strongly that it has cost these ' aggressive pursuers' thousands of pounds to
achieve their end."

Fraud victims in new appeal against lawyer
By Leo Leonidou . . . VICTIMS of a lawyer
and his wife accused of defrauding several foreign investors of more than three million
pounds have appealed to the public for help in locating the fugitives. Police have
issued international arrest warrants against the couple, but admit they are no closer
to determining their whereabouts
Rumours have been circulating that Marios Shiaeles,
37, and his wife Niki Fasaria, along with their baby girl, could be in the north,
Turkey, Greece, Albania or Bulgaria. However, there is no information to substantiate
any of these claims.

A group of campaigners have been ejected from a meeting of a Scottish Parliament
committee as they accused some solicitors of acting illegally. Members of Scotland
Against Crooked Lawyers (SACL) were escorted from the justice committee meeting.
MSPs had been taking evidence from the group's co-ordinator, Stuart Usher, on plans
to regulate the legal profession, when he was told his time was up.
But Mr Usher refused to leave and began shouting and pointing at the committee members,
complaining he had not been given the same opportunities as the Law Society of Scotland
at a previous meeting.
He shouted: "You let the Law Society do things which you won't
let us do.
"You let them make opening statements. I'm furious about it

A SOLICITOR and his law firm must pay £360,000 to 63 investors involved in a boiler
room scam the Court of Appeal ruled today. John Martin and Adrian Sam & Co ("ASC"),
the former London-based law firm at which Martin was a partner, were found guilty
in December 2004 of being involved in an illegal overseas investment firm's 'boiler
room' activities in the UK. At the time, the judge ruled they should to repay money
to investors. Martin and ASC appealed against that ruling. They did not challenge
the finding that they were knowingly concerned.

A crooked lawyer has been jailed for seven years after he looted £900,000 from
wills and cash meant for charity so he could send his children to public school,
stock up with vintage wines and drive a classic sports car.
In the course of 28 years, Michael Wright, now 66, doubled or trebled his actual
salary.
He set up seven false identities to channel the money from wills and had the power
to sign cheques paying legacies to their bank accounts.
When families complained or became suspicious he simply stole from other estates
to pay them what they were owed, Exeter Crown Court was told

A solicitor living in a £750,000 house stole more than £1million from a disabled
client from Croydon, a court was told.
Thomas McGoldrick, 59, of Faulkners Lane, Mobberley, Cheshire, lived a life of "extravagance"
while taking the cash from client Keith Anderson.
Mr Anderson, 45, was awarded £1.8million following a crash in Croydon in November
1996 which left him paralysed from the chest down.
When he received damages in May 2001, McGoldrick drew up a forged letter allegedly
from his client "gifting" him half the money.
I too received "Dummy" inflated bills
from McGoldrick's, for professional bungling and incompetence. It took me, with no
assistance from the Law Society, many years to get this sorted out.
I'm disgusted
with McGoldrick's, but I'm bloody angry about the Law Society. McGoldrick’s are crooks;
the Law Society is toothless, corrupt and useless.

I kept writing letters and phoning and although the caseworker was doing his best
the solicitor was proving to be difficult.The caseworker had not the experience of
dealing with someone so arrogant and corrupt, and the solicitor was not responding
with the caseworkers’ requests for paperwork he required.
When I had been with the
law society for two years I decided I was going to cancel and try to get some money
back through the small claims court.

The
latest UK Threat Assessment 2006-07 published by the Serious Organised Crime Agency
on 31 July 2006 emphasises the threat from serious organised criminals involved in
non-fiscal fraud who make use of corrupt or negligent professionals and collusive
insiders, including solicitors, accountants, and financial advisers. The report says
that a picture is emerging of a sophisticated fraud 'infrastructure', made up of
numerous specialists and niche service providers.
Brian Dougan, a solicitor from Northern Ireland , was jailed for three months at
Liverpool Crown Court for converting or transferring the proceeds of criminal conduct.
He was found to have allowed £66,000 to pass through his client account while carrying
out conveyancing work for a convicted criminal.
This follows hard on the heels of
another conveyancing solicitor Phillip Griffiths being jailed for 15 months for failing
to make a disclosure to the authorities, knowing or suspecting money laundering offences
were taking place.

You’d like to think it was a rarity. But this page and Bent Money Laundering Lawyers
overleaf will show you it’s the norm at many Solicitors. But it’s not just their
fault.
I am being sued in The High Court of Justice. For Harassment because MCP Law
knew a case of defamation wouldn’t stick. (it’s not defamation if it’s true). I
thought it would be reasonable to represent myself. That all I had to do was show
that I was telling the truth and they (by their own admission) were lying. I was
horrified and appalled to find that MCP Law Solicitor Jonathan Burton’s description
of lying through their back teeth. The complete opposite of the truth, for a period
of three months to me in spring 2006. Would be accepted by the Judge as “On reflection
that was not entirely accurate”. And the Judge commented . . . “Oh well they must
have had a reason” . . .
YES JUDGE they did . . . . It’s to conceal this pile of
fraud here. . . . . and here
