Thanks for your comment. I agree with you a...Bob,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment. I agree with you about Resolution. There are sadly some less helpful members which detracts from the strength of the code. I would like to see them better educated about the effects of their words rather than being "slung out" but ultimately yes I think, in some cases, stronger sanctions are needed.<br /><br />I had a letter this morning from a firm of solicitors that's one of the worst I've had. The parties were nearly fully agreed between themselves but this letter has nearly undone all the work the parties have done themselves. Things like that honestly make me a bit ashamed of my profession.<br /><br />I think lawyers are like all professions in there being good and bad but really only the good should survive and be allowed to work with people who are at a vulnerable time in their life.mummylawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331204653106400534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539545612456961000.post-66431979570044770012012-05-17T02:37:27.945-07:002012-05-17T02:37:27.945-07:00I can't tell you how refreshing this is to rea...I can't tell you how refreshing this is to read!<br /><br />The fee targets set for family solicitors is an issue that needs looking at. Financial rewards (and it has to e financial because that is what makes a lot of law firms tick) for early and peaceful resolution could be introduced perhaps? I'm not sure how that would work, but it might be something the government could consider as part of the Family Justice Review?<br /><br />On our websites we only promote Resolution member solicitors. But...why is there always a "but?"<br /><br />We come across correspondence written from some Resolution members (largely to dads) that, to put it bluntly, deserve nothing more than being chucked in the bin!<br /><br />Rude, aggressive, threatening...and designed to ramp up hostility. Let me be clear - many Resolution memers are quite superb lawyers - but a few really let your side down.<br /><br />I think it would help a lot if Resolution were to have a better complaints department and be willing to strike solicitors off their roll if evidence shows that they are not following their own code of ethics. <br /><br />I hope that makes sense.<br /><br />BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
