The incompetence and maladministration of so-called law firm Minster Law (Monster Law would be more apt) is staggeringly atrocious. The other reviews affirming this conclusion reflect a family member and I's experience (I am of no relation to Ian Richardson) in having the misfortune of receiving their customer "service". One would assume that solicitors would represent and fight for the interests of their clients; on the contrary, those employed by this organisation are seemingly instructed to use all cheap and dirty self-serving tricks at their disposal to make a quick buck regardless of how much this, in plain English, screws you over.
An example of this is my family member being pressurised to break the criminal law by contradicting a sworn police statement, in order to accept 50/50 liability regarding the road traffic accident we were involved in! Again, one would expect solicitors to understand such simple legal concepts, but Minster's Law's seem to struggle with logical concepts of any sort; this seems to be the case based upon the tedious labour (and financial expense) burdened on the client, due to the firm's sheer ineptness in matters of paperwork and information, most often being a fruitless effort to correct their mistakes. I am open-minded as to whether this is because of the aforementioned dirty tricks or ineptitude, both of which we have been affected by for the past three years.
My relative provided medical evidence about their injuries, but this was seemingly ignored or simply not incorporated into the case detail as it should have been, even though this included a medical report organised by Minster Law themselves. A psychological assessment was promised, but this promise was retracted for no discernible reason other than as a cost-saving exercise.
My case was passed onto a different law firm, but it has been effected by the total mismanagement of information and lack of communication or efforts in litigation that has also essentially ruined my relative's case. I am entirely unphased that Monster Law has already been fined for malpractice by the Legal Ombudsman. For the social good it should be closed down. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
UPDATE: Minster Law have dropped my family member's claim, accusing them of not supplying information that was provided on multiple occasions and essentially taking sides with the defendant. No attempt to actually litigate on their behalf. Three years pointlessly wasted on this stupidity, and all because the client refused to break the criminal law after this "solicitor" devoted themselves to working against the client. Disgraceful and appalling.
