They will have taken this money AND been paid by the DTI.
It's the topping up of fees and the way they advised clients to take cases on under CFAs because they were better for Beresfords not the clients that got them in doodoo.
Oh and Osem, the reason not every complaint results in a solicitor being struck off is because the overwhelming majority of complaints are for trivial reasons, whinges that they didn't get the outcome they wanted, rejected because they haven't bothered going through the solicitors own complaints procedure without a good reason, or minor stuff like delays and poor communication that doesn't warrant striking off. Oh, and the fact that there aren't even 17000 solicitors around to be reported 
Since the only professional thing about that site is the logo they stole off the LCS I would't put much faith in anything that's there if I were you  |
Well it's true all they charged my father was £275, they only charged me £200when I got £11,000 from the coal board for vibration white finger, they charged me £150 when I got £4,000 for deafness if it wasn't for Berresfords taking these test cases on there would be no compensation for the miners.
I was informed today that a test case for beat knee has been withdrawn because of this case yesterday, Berresfords were footing the bill for the test case but after yesterdays outcome they have pulled out, this could leave thousands of ex miners with knee troubles thousands of pounds out of pocket.
So what if Berresfords took money off the DTI they did a good job for the Ex miners round here, you don't see any of them on the news complaining the only ones complaining are the ones in John Manns constituancy, John Mann has had a vendetta against these firms for along time now, they found a way to make a bit of money providing a service for a small fee if you won the case, like I mentioned they've acted for me twice now and I've been well impressed with their service and their fees.
John Mann is vary bitter person indeed.
