This review is for a different branch.
I hired Mr Ball as my duty solicitor, for criminal defence. As I punched someone who attacked me after a knife attack (from 3 men).
Long story short, all evidence of me being attacked was hidden from the CPS by the police, and Rod Ball did his part to hide evidence from the court prosecution.
First Rod Intemiidattes me and told me I should not tell the courts of the events that led to my defense, or else the magistrates would get annoyed and throw me in prison.
So I turned on my phone and recorded Mr Ball.
When I played back the recording and spoke to local councilors and businessmen, they told me to fire him as he has a bad reputation not being very good. (that's putting it mildly).
After firing MR ball, I tried to hire a Barrister, as I could see that I was being railroaded, sadly no Barrister would take the case on as I only had a short time before court.
forced to represent myself, I went to court to tty and tell them myself about being a victim of an attack and an open IOPC investigation.
But my access was denied because Rod Ball snuck in and Spoke to the Prosecution as my defence behind the courts in a video call.
I launched complaints from the courts, which was escalated to Exeter. But suddenly all information around the case disappeared.
All in all, I wich i never met the man, he was very cheap in his defence, but everything else was very sub-par.
