Clientele Legal = *********** Advisers, pathetic service

Clientele Legal are a *******. As per my policy, I will have access to professional Lawyers and Advisers. The correspondence from the Legal Adviser was unprofessionally written. The adviser assigned to my case sent out an e-mail riddled with spelling and grammatical errors you would expect from a junior primary student.

I was shocked and embarrassed when I read the e-mail which also included false information although I had submitted all the details regarding my case.

I keep requesting a Lawyer to be assigned to my case and the same Adviser replies without his name on every e-mail. I know it is him because he spells 'Please' as 'Plaese.'

Reviewer Update
The Clientele Legal Complaints Department did contact me after my post on Hello Peter. The consultant from the Complaints Department informed me that my claim was under R 20 000 and that I will have to take the matter to the Small Claims Court and there will be nothing further that Clientele Legal can do.

So after 6 months of 'professional' legal advice from Clientele and after me posting a complaint on Hello Peter did it dawn on them that this matter falls under the Smalls Claim Court.

The Consultant also apologized for the unprofessional manner in which this matter was handled.

While I was communicating with the Consultant from the Complaints Department the Legal Adviser contacted me and he was unaware of this being a Small Claims matter and was still pursuing the matter...So I decided let me just go with this and see how far it goes.

And guess what...the Legal Adviser managed to get the Third Party to pay out and I received the payment this afternoon.

I do not recommend Clientele Legal to any person requiring legal assistance.
