They provide **** lawyers

<p>I took a legal policy with clientele in 2011, and i needed a legal representative for a hearing at work. The lawyer they provided was bribed and he walked out of the hearing . I immediately informed clientele and they have never bothered to explain let alone apologise for such behaviour. Given the fact that ordinary citizens are generaly abused in the work place, I was fired since i didnt have a lawyer. I reported again to clientele what had happened including sending a letter to their headoffice. I defaulted on my premiums for two months since i am unemployed, and for that reason they ignore my emails and are not interested in assisting me any further. This they do despite the fact that they still deduct from my account but dont want to assist me. I have tried every possible means to contact them with the little resources I have. It is dissapointing that i had such an experience with a company wich was suppose to protect peoples legal rights.</p>

Reviewer Update

I have since talked to a consultant from clientele who was quick to respond to the review about my experience with them.

Since then nothing has changed my issues haven't been resolved. I have sent email which has not been responded to in weeks despite the urgency of this matter.

It is very sad that clietele only saw the need to act when their conduct towards clients is been made public.
