I was recommended to deal with DLS from a friend of a friend. My initial consultation was great, things were looking good.
After having to deal with numerous solicitors and feeling as though I was not being taken seriously I was very upset with how this firm worked. Later down the track I received a large bill for what i considered a minimal amount of work.
We had an agreement on costs, but without my knowledge the costs changed. I am now unhappy with the services they provided me. I was told by the other parties lawyers that very important documents were not sent and information was not passed on. This not only dragged the proceedings on but accumulated to the total outrageous costs.
Anyone dealing with lawyers should know their rights BEFORE proceeding to use their services. http://www.lawsociety.com.au/idc/groups/public/documents/internetcontent/008747.pdf
