They claim to be experts in inheritance…
They claim to be experts in inheritance law. From my experience the complete opposite of expertise was shown.
On 19 July 2024, I instructed Leggado to prepare a legal claim to obtain precautionary measures in an inheritance case. They assured me they were experts in inheritances, and highly experienced in this type of work. Accordingly, 2500 euros was paid for their instruction.
Despite providing all the necessary documents and instructions, the documents prepared by Leggado were poorly written and presented. I raised my concerns with Leggado on numerous occasions and asked them to better prepare the documents. My concerns were summarily dismissed and I was assured that the documents they had prepared were “more than correct” and met “the necessary requirements for the precautionary measures we are seeking”.
The application prepared by Leggado for the precautionary measures was presented to the court on Friday 26 July, and dismissed by the court 2 days later on 30 July due to legal, evidential, procedural, and drafting defects. I was casually informed of this on 31 July.
I attempted to speak with Leggado by telephone on 31 July, however I was informed by email that “We are on holiday until September- happy summer – let’s speak in September”. I found this attitude to be unprofessional and callous.
I have spoken to other legal professionals during the summer who confirm the Demand was poorly written and did not comply with the LAW 1/2000, OF 7 January on civil procedure.
The situation is that 2500 euros was lost in less than a fortnight, and the situation is now worse than before. Leggado are now refusing to respond to my emails where I am asking for the monies to be refunded. It seems I will need to commence legal proceedings to recover the monies paid and any damages I incur due to their poor service.
I am writing this review to review to warn others of my experience so the same does not happen to them and they also lose money. The service provided by Leggado does not deserve even one star. AVOID!
