As a Litigation Friend for one their clients, I had direct contact with solicitors and barristers on her behalf. HJ&A were useless when I used them for a case some years ago, duping into changing from Legal Aid to No Win No Fee but upon doing so dropped the case when they thought they had the possibility of losing, But in my friends instance, once I'd persuaded them to change barrister from the one they'd selected to one I requested we ended up with the perfect outcome for the client.

Unfortunately when I published the above paragraph 6 months ago I thought the matter had been resolved but it had not been and, as so many other reviewers have said here, Hodges, Jones & Allen just left the client floundering with no support and left to face the Royal Courts of Justice on her own.

Update today (Tuesday 14-08-18 at 17:22)
Hodge Jones & Allen made the response below as if offering an olive branch. But they had already investigated this matter, ignored all evidence and knew I was pursuing with the following;

I am raising a complaint with the Legal Ombudsman for their failing to correspond in a timely manner, ineffective management of Legal Aid Funds and unprofessional conduct.

Under no circumstance should you consider using this firm. They exploit the poor & the vulnerable & I'm hoping the Law Society & Ombudsman will agree with me and will deal with them accordingly.
