AVOID! The most incompetent, deceiving, inefficient and money grabbing 'legal firm' I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with.
I never imagined that my journey with Clifton Ingram LLP, a firm I enlisted for a crucial commercial dispute, would turn into a nightmarish escapade. This 'legal firm,' if one could even grace them with such a title, has been a paradigm of incompetence and deceit.
From the outset, their communication was as clear as mud. Phone calls went unanswered, emails were met with cryptic responses, and the rare occasions we did converse felt like navigating through a labyrinth of confusion. It seemed as though each member of their team was more clueless than the last, a merry-go-round of inefficiency.
The advice provided was not just inadequate; it was misleading. 85% of the work I ended up doing myself. Every strategy they suggested led us down a path of increased complexity and cost, with no tangible progress. The case, which I initially believed to be straightforward, ballooned into an unrecognisable quagmire under their guidance.
And the fees! Oh, the fees were astronomical. It was as if their primary expertise was in crafting exorbitant invoices. For every minute of consultation, there was an inflated charge, and for every bungled piece of advice, another line item to the bill. Anything to increase their profits, at your expense. We should never have been advised to progress with 8 months of back and forth, when our dispute could have been settled without their help at the outset. Completely self serving and unprofessional.
In conclusion, Clifton Ingram LLP is a masterclass in how not to run a legal firm. Their blend of incompetence, inefficiency, and money-grabbing tactics should serve as a warning to anyone in need of legal assistance. Avoid at all costs, unless you fancy a foray into the absurd and expensive world of legal mismanagement.
