Being on the receiving side of this solicitor during a family separation issue I would not recommend him. He wrote a letter to me stating that my ex partner did not have to pay child maintenance towards his two children and tried to find ways to get him out of paying it. This was wrong legal advice and I was advised by 3 separate solicitors and CMS that his advise regarding this was not legal or correct. Upon writing back to him asking why he was giving out wrong legal advise, he then blamed my ex partner and said he told him this was the law. Surly a solicitor should know the law and not blame their own client. Also because I wrote back to him questioning why he would advise the incorrect information . He charged my ex partner each time he replied to me. Even though I was complaining about him not information relating to our case. I spoke to my ex partner about this lately and he said Christopher Wall advised him this was the law and to put this in the letter and that he said he does this to alot of women. He also said Christopher Wall advised him not to declare his wages to me so we were able to arrange the child maintenance between ourselves. Clearly this was purely for financial reasons so he could charge more money to write letters between us. My worry is if this solicitor is advising men or women to not pay the child maintenance they are legally responsible to pay this will effect the childrens welfare. Luckily I did not believe this solicitors lies, however many other women may. I have put this in writing to this solicitor and ask to make a formal complaint regarding this matter, however he refused to give me any details on how to complain to him and the company he works for and said I don’t have a right to complain about this. The CMS have now dealt with our child maintenance issue for free and my children are now receiving the correct child maintenance payments. I would not at all recommended this solicitor for any family law issues.
