I instructed Adam Bernard Solicitors for a serious driving offence, and the experience was beyond disappointing. They said all the right things initially, so I paid £1,500.
I had to chase constantly for updates, especially about CPS submissions. No one reached out voluntarily, and I was made to feel like a nuisance for simply asking what was going on.
Despite telling them well in advance that I'd be abroad due to a bereavement, they failed to inform the court until midday on the day of my hearing. The case went ahead without me and had to be reopened and the court acknowledged it was their error.
There were endless staff changes and no care or accountability. I lost all trust and confidence.
The best thing I did was end their services and find a new solicitor. That team helped me win my case. Had I stayed with Adam Bernard, the outcome would have been far worse.
Trust your gut. Don't pay upfront. Avoid this firm. read more
