A representative from Sdg Solicitors responded to this review on 21 March, 2024:
Dear Mr Ozgur Your employment tribunal matter concluded in a multiday day hearing in early 2023 (prior to instructing this firm) and you were acting in person at the time. You came to us seeking representation concerning a remedy hearing listed for one day and an appeal matter at the appeal tribunal (at the time; the appeal hearing date was yet to be fixed by the appeal tribunal). There are two sides to each story. Your version of the story you published in this way just to defame the firm , there is no truth in it, contents were not correct. Although the retainer ended some time ago, we cannot and shall not disclose full information concerning a case in a public platform due to our rules, (we feel strongly we require to reply to correct your serious accusation) although our response / details we provide here to your negative review will be very limited. What you stating here is in accurate and not in line with events took place during the retainer. False information provided in a public platform, which were fabricated by you purely to discredit the staff, and our firm and to project a negative image. Your serious allegations are unreasonably wrong with no justification, and totally without merit. Your complaint fully addressed by us in detail last year almost five months ago by providing documentary evidence of the events that you complained about. We asked you to approach Legal Ombudsman Services by giving you full information at the time, so you can make a formal complaint, if you are unhappy with our response, by following the complaint procedure we provided. We conducted two matters on your behalf. Costs agreed at the initial meetings for the both matters and as agreed you paid the legal fees prior to the hearing as requested. On that basis we conducted your matter and one of our specialist counsels attended the remedy hearing. Other side made an offer prior to the hearing, to settle out of court but you rejected directly by communicating with other side solicitors, although we were acting solicitors at the time. Your instructions to us were to attend the remedy hearing as you wish the tribunal judge to make the decision at the remedy hearing, despite our advice and counsels’ advice to you prior to attending the remedy hearing, to settle matters out of court. Despite the advice we given, you confirmed us, that whatever the outcome from the tribunal judge you respect and accept. We have followed your reasonable instructions and attended the hearing as instructed by you. You were fully aware of the likely outcome of the remedy hearing as we advised you and you had a conference with the counsel concerning your matter/schedule of loss you provided to the tribunal prior to your instructions to our firm, which (we and our counsel advised you) was unrealistic. After the hearing you are sending threatening emails to us by asking us to return the funds you paid as you considering reporting the firm to authorities as counsel did not perform well at the hearing. We informed you previously that all hearings are recorded. This firm will not carryout last-minute work concerning any court/ tribunal hearing matters. We expect client to cooperate with us concerning evidence relevant to their case. You would have given relevant evidence prior to we submitting the hearing bundles (as we were requesting these for sometime from you ) not at the day of the hearing by emailing us and tribunal directly during the hearing (large bundle of case papers you previously used for the multiday hearing which were not provided to us prior to the remedy hearing). You confirmed to us all your medical evidence and other important evidence relevant to your case were filed at the Tribunal by you and served on other side prior to you instructing this firm and when we asked further up to date evidence from you, your answer was you have nothing further to give for the remedy hearing as Tribunal has everything. We shall not be engaging further on this matter in a public platform due to our professional rules but will address your complaint fully with documentary evidence if we hear from the legal ombudsman with your complaint in due course
