Turner Hopkins

Only had to give them one star. They wrote to me once and demanded I go to their offices in Auckland (I live in Chch) and pay their client Collection House $ 8000.00 I wrote several times and asked for proof of the debt and explained my situation in a letter, I emailed as well. They completely ignored me. I laid a complaint with the law society. There was even a hearing with the legal complaints review office. But the solicitor never even showed up. They completely ignored the complaint as well. I asked the Referee at the hearing to provide proof of debt. He just ignored the question. The Legal Complaints Review Officer found in the favour of the lawyer even though he never showed up or responded to my complaint. I also don’t have any proof that the lawyer was even aware of my complaint to the law society and to the legal complaints review officer. Lawyers can send demand for payment to anyone in NZ without there being any debt validation or proof required. As was told to me by the Law Society, Lawyers actually do not owe any duty to care towards a third party. The only thing I’d recommend Turners for is if you wanted to screw someone to death in the corporate world, they’d be good for that. The one star I gave them was for that.
