JHB LAW LTD

Very bad experience at this branch and overall at Lawstop. Represented by them up to 2024 following a transfer from the Brighton branch which had my case open since 2023 with Emma MEADOWS, then Claire DURKAN, stalled for over a year by Charlotte WOOD and then passed on to Abigail CAPLE in Hammersmith which closed my case down and Lawstop never reopened it.
Since December 2024 and then early 2025 as a rough sleeper when I filled a new entry applicant form via Israel SALOME which reassured me to reopen. my caee quicker since I was a previous existing client, Lawstop persistently claimed to have no capacity for housing care / homelessness matters however they are to date accepting right in front of me new housing applicants but will not even hand me a form to be considered. All very discriminatory and random and bottom line they do not care about their clients or homeless, vulnerable adults with disabilities but just to make legal aid easy money as they can.
The head of housing Simeon WILLMORE I was referred to by Mary BENNET of Human Resources in January 2025 first said to be willing to look into my case but then, as I requested my up to date case file for him, he changed his version and told Mary he could not help me and this without even knowing what my case is about as he never took a look at it. He claimed is not getting paid but would not accept my legal aid live certificate transfer or re-apply for a new certificate for me. For him to get paid he has to apply for it as this firm exclusively work on legal aid basis, so claiming he is not getting paid is a profanity as he has to apply to get paid to the Legal Aid Agency (LAA) in the first place and my case has merits as was already previously evaluated by the LAA. Wilmore claimed he does not work for the LAA… he is so, so rude and a lier as he though gets paid only via legal aid at Lawstop so obviously he has got to have dealings with the LAA.
In 2023 Lawstop Brighton got a huge private payout from RBKC Council for settling my homelessness matter out of court however they abandoned me living across loads of hotels and communities as well rough sleeping to then close my case down and now Israel SALOME claimed I am the problem.
Like the front desk reception worker stated if they truly had no capacity for housing matters since early 2025 they would not be making any money as would be one whole year they do not take even a new client in! So they are obviously lying because they do not care about their clients as myself whether we live or die in sufferance. Appalling service from whoever is at the top managing Lawstop and glad if others had a good service from them but that was not my case. I was discriminated against, my experience with them since passed on to Charlotte WOOD was awful as she also lied to me that she was progressing my
matter when she was not. They only brought me more rough sleeping and extreme sufferance to date not to count how negatively their misleading and dishonest ways affected my mental and physical health how they treated ne, so rude, unprofessional and uncaring. If I could I would let them close down!

I would like to thank Lawstop and especially Mr Elliot chappel for his consistency and perseverance.I had very great outcome.

I would like to thank Mr mirza sameer baig . He would always keep me updated on my case and helped me understand what was going on and what I needed to do with my case .. he is kind and understanding and helpful and he listened to me . He helped me amd my family what I needed in my case ..
I can not thank mr mirza sameer baig enough ..
Keep up amazing work you are doing .you will go far in your work ...

Avoid at all costs. The most rudest, unprofessional and threatening companies going. Coz there so bad and cant file paperwork properly they wanted to lie to the judge and lie about my mental health to reschedule the case. Utterly illegal and discriminative. There solicitors also leave the company ALOT so you'll be passed around about 6 times and you'll have to remind them of things coz there terrible at there jobs

Do not use , incompetent lost my sons data which delayed his tribunal appeal , something is untoward with this company I made a DSAR and internal emails they collide to try and Decieve by putting someone else’s name on and that I would
Not know and as per the other reviews they do not return calls even if you are a client.
Have now lodged a complaint with the legal Ombudsman about them
