Extremely Disappointed from Mr. Raj Chada

My case was dealt with Mr. Raj Chada but unfortunately, he has show really bad way to deal a case. he or his team never available on phone, nor they reply the email. Even his assistant failed to reply. Nor have I got any good representation in the court which resulting, case decision went against me. I wrote number of letters to Mr. Raj from inside, but NEVER got any reply.
I am not sure how they are doing business.

Professionalism delivered sympathetically

This review is for a different branch.

Asked HJA to act for me when interviewed under caution. Jessica was a perfect mix of professional advice, alongside the emotional support and understanding during this stressful period. She responded promptly and fully to my emails. When on leave her collegue was equally supportive. NB this service is free, price entered in error!

Waste of time this firm

This review is for a different branch.

Waste of time this firm, they're that inexperienced that can't differentiate what medical negligence and malpractice is.
Even with a letter from the best the orthopedic specialists in country stating I was fit and well before leaving the care William Harvey Hospital in Ashford Kent on top of having medical evidence from numerous private hospital that indicates the hospital mentioned is lying.
I have now had to have my bicep tendon cut down and relocated making me look like a freak at the age of 37 after living a life of playing football and being an international ambassador for England since I was 12 year's old and never experienced any issues that the NHS have then tried to tell me is genetic defect when it isn't because based on those facts I would of developed osteoarthritis and tendinitis of bicep and pectoral by age of 6 meaning I would never of become an international ambassador for England at the age of 12 or continued to do this where I now represent the national team and been linked to clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea all of which can confirm I never had any issues until I left the care of the William Harvey Hospital

If I could give them no stars I would

This review is for a different branch.

If I could give no stars I would have, I would strongly recommend AGAINST using this firm for so many reasons but mainly due to the lack of care and professionalism. There were several occasions where I had to chase a response after several weeks of waiting (these were often lengthy periods of 4-5 weeks) and this happened a number of times. The response I often got was around how my solicitor didn't have time to review my response or they were really busy despite me being a paying client also. There was a number of incidents that alerted me I was not being afforded the same duty of care as other clients on their books for reasons that was made clear at the early stages of my case where the tonality and reference to Beyonce in an email which actually had no relevance to my previous email which was a direct question to my solicitor. When I complained about this once I was fed up with the whole experience I was told that because my direct response to the email didn't appear to show that I was upset my feelings were as good as invalid. A piece of advice when people experience mirco aggression we go to our safe space which is our friends & family. So while you saw my professional response to a mirco aggression (we have often been taught to deal with these incidents in this way to avoid gaslighting). Just because I chose to remain professional doesn't mean my experience should be trivialised. If you are a person of color don't put yourself through it and don't be fooled by the presentism on their website....the gas lighting in the response to my complaint just summed what this firm really stand for and its NOT for their clients ESPECIALLY those of colour.
