We gave to Chris Conney confidence in our lawsuit for professional negligence. After contacting us, 2 months later he wrote that he would not take our case on a No-Win-No-Fee basis, although when he contacted us he wrote that he would take all such cases on a No-Win-No-Fee basis. When we contacted him, we wrote that we wanted to bring a lawsuit against one of the UK's largest law firms for professional negligence. He replied that he had had many such cases against large law firms. Therefore, we handed over all the documents we had to him. He was aware that we did not have several important documents, as our former law firm did not provide them to us upon repeated requests, such as court documents, so we do not know whether our former lawyer submitted the documents of the claim for damages to the court after the accident at work. We wrote to him a month before this and he doesn't respond. After we gave him further evidence, he replied only afterwards and wrote that he would not take our case on a No-Win-No-Fee basis. It seems that lawyers today are not interested in justice and justice, but rather in money. They do not help those who need it most. Our lives were ruined by the fact that I died and was resuscitated three times after a 1500 kg rolled-up blind warehouse door broke off and fell on me from a height of approx. 6-7 m, not my fault, this was established by the labour inspection. I have suffered permanent injuries and damage to my health, which causes me such pain that I wake up every morning thinking that it is another day and I have to endure all the pain. Because of the accident, I was completely incapacitated, I need help with everything. I have to use a breathing apparatus to sleep, because without it my breathing stops, due to severe brain damage. They know that we have two minor children who have been deprived of everything that a healthy father can give his children and that they would have experienced as children in a healthy family. You know very well that the former law firm ruined us, forced us to accept an unacceptably low compensation. If I hadn't accepted, they wanted me to pay nearly £200,000 in legal fees, even though they were working on a No-Win-No-Fee basis. They portrayed the English court as corrupt and biased, claiming that they would not make a favourable decision for me in any way, and that I would still have to pay fees and get into debt because of it. Thus, we do not have money to pay attorneys' fees. In principle, this is why there would be the No-Win-No-Fee option.
