While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Dealt with my case for 5 years meticulous isn't the word the man is a wizard!
I contracted barrister Richard Bloomfield of Quartz Barristers via the My Barrister web site to prepare a Judicial Review application against my local councils for me.
I paid him the entire fee in advance; big mistake. I found and believe his work to have been poor, it did not contain what I needed and was likely to fail; I have done my best without any further help from him to make it better (he declined, even though I paid for a completed job).
In particular, besides disagreeing with him regarding whether the Human Rights Act is applicable (I have found plenty of evidence that says it is), Richard Bloomfield failed to include any provision for damages (or even advise me if they would be admissible later / could be claimed in a separate civil process), any judicial Declaration or Mandatory Order as I wanted. He never read / understood my needs which I believe were abundantly clear to see in what I sent him, nor once asked me nor discussed what I wanted the Judicial Review to say / achieve in lieu.
Further, he twice made statements on key aspects of evidence which show, IMHO, he did not fully read / consider what he was sent and thereby was instructed by me; for me he lectures / presumes, not listens / asks.
