...thanks for ­link­. Amazing! Someone's already taken matters into their own hands.

from the site:

The point made by Divorce Solicitor Trap is this: That vulnerable consumers should be systematically exploited by a legal profession that claims to stand for fairness and justice, is unacceptable. It prompts the question: Why are we allowing this to happen to so many people?

...and this:

Who pays for the bundle mountains?

You do...

Litigation should have no place in family law. Legal proceedings should be geared to help divorcing couples not cripple them. Why double costs by having a solicitor and a barrister present at the same court hearing? Current legal structure is not in the interests of the consumer.

Thank you ALL for those.
It would be nice to hear from retired or employed legal professionals who can justify Resolution stance ­base­d upon the evidence, which is actually un contested by Mr Blah Blah's firm. You heard the Director of Standards interpretation of the Code of Practice, I am interested to know if this acceptable to professional people who subscribe to this Code of Practice.
I emailed this thread to the CEO of Resolution earlier in the week, and I feel it's a bit like the Captain Pugwash thread, it would be nice if these people would face the public they serve and explain their actions.

I am sorry to keep going on but this particular issue cuts straight to the heart of the honesty and integrity of the profession. Even when caught red handed a total denial mode is adopted.
if we cant trust solicitors to be the honest brokers in divorce, and a 5000 strong solicitors code of practice is virtually a meaningless list of words, what hope is there of getting away from this acrimonious mess.
It doesn't need to be like this

David & Goliath!

...and I'm sat here thinking "what can 'lil 'ol me do about it"?

Arnie's thoughts are a law suit for mal-administration, fairly easily proved judging by current performance, and that the suit to be of a very high magnitude, as the best way to focus the attention of a business is to hit it in the pocket HARD! .
Does anybody know the criteria ?? or case precedents to support this?

and I give up.

You see all the legal class love it when Arnie slings one into Captain Pugwash, yet when it comes to their own dirty laundry a stunned silence descends. Resolution advertise all over this site. The main legal sponsors proudly display Resolutions logo on this site.
It takes FOUR YEARS to establish that the majority of this man's claimed qualifications were false and then Resolution call time out. In June 2003 I first complained to this organisation and they have done ABSOLUTELY nothing. In that context you have to sympathise with Captain Pugwash.

This is a central issue in DIVORCE. 5000 of the solicitors involved in this process sign up to the Code of Practice.

I have shared my story with a community of 16,000(ish) people in divorce to try and improve the awful abuse of process that my family had/have to endure.
Resolution have this post in their inbox and I would have thought the only DECENT thing they could do is respond here in this forum. Not specifically on my case but to clarify the interpretation that the Director of Standards placed upon the Code of Practice and put our minds at ease that a CREDIBLE audited complaints procedure is now in place.

Resolution were only to happy to accept the free advertising now they should take some of the responsibility. The world is changed by the internet and this lot need to come to terms with that.

Don't expect to see a post here from Resolution, I am going to pick this up on my own blog but this arrived in my inbox ten mins ago

Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth, and the truth in this instance is; this is absolutely disgraceful behaviour by an association of 5000 solicitors. Silence mitigated by rank is no defence

I have a similar situation- I was threatened with court action for texts I sent after I found out my -then -husband was having an affair. The texts were not threatening, just angry. next thing, I get a letter from his sol re" harrassment" and starting divorce proceedings.What losers! Anyway, I intend complaining to " Resolution" when case is finished- that is another option for you.I also think you can simply voice your position in court re the sol's conduct, to your judge. Surely the court will take a dim view of this sol? They sound like bullies.
