For more than 1 year I have had to deal with 3 different lawyers (including partner) from Wiering Advocaten (in the role of receiver) to purchase household effects. I ended up paying unnecessarily a lot of money for an estate and the process took far too long.
You do not have to agree with each other in terms of content and I also understand the role of a curator, but Wieringa Advocaten excelled in unreasonableness and shamelessness:
1) Poor accessibility, blunt and especially arrogant communication; only accessible if it suits them (hiding), hardly prepared to give a telephone explanation, average response time to an e-mail 2 weeks.
2 Messy and unprofessional; file not in order, poor transfer and limited substantive knowledge. Not the willingness to listen to further explanation or to deepen further. Errors are not corrected or acknowledged.
3) Power and money driven; misuse position, pressurize and once the money is transferred no more telephone contact. Everything that you have not legally recorded is used against you. Hardly any cooperation and communication to achieve a good transfer / completion once the money has been received. Every simple, extra promotion is disproportionately charged.
4) Little empathy and integrity towards the entrepreneur who takes over household effects with a lot of risk and (a lot of) money. People are totally insensitive to the ethical side and context of the story. Reasonability and fairness are therefore hard to find here.
Tip: if you have a choice, I would advise you not to do business with this office. The entire process cost me an unnecessary amount of time, frustration and money, while I was really in good faith. If you do want to work with this office, I advise you to bring your own lawyer.
