SOLICITARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHS!
I may be forced to drive to Whitley Bay to behead my solicitor this afternoon as he has decided to be a monumental cunt regarding exchange/completion on our house. His being pedantic could stop the chain moving on Friday, purely out of spite
Tell me tales of your brushes with authority

I have 4 coffees from our secret santa at work. Best/worst presents from work?

Lets workshop this problem mate. To whit what does this pedantry relate to? Why would he be spiteful if he is reliant on the sale for (full) payment?

Apparently us ringing our solicitors to ask where the sales was at was not necessary, as they would inform us, despite actually never ringing or emailing...
My fault, obviously

My mate's a solicitor and deals with property and leasing.
When he bought his first house, by the end of it even he was cursing bloody solicitors.

I can't think why they get paid several hundred grand a year to be able to understand and enforce multi jurisdictional legal agreements stradling property, construction, and commercial heads to delivery multi billion pound infrastructure projects

Ours were brilliant and happy to be phoned up, especially when we were pushing them to get the sale through and processed within a 2 week deadline.
HTHs honey

Take it to the Property partner expressing your concerns as to the progression of the matter, particularly as the solicitor dealing with it is refusing/unwilling to speak to you as a matter of professional courtesy or otherwise. Copy him in to all e-mails
Also seek confirmation of the firms complaints policy and procedure.

Have a couple of pints, then head down there angry and shouting your head off, threatening physical violence to anyone who tries to placate you.
Oh and don't forget to record the conversation.

They really have to enter into the spirit of their complaints procedures, although truth be told they don't really give a fuck and know you are too far advanced to take it to another firm.

I once cycled into a rozzer when drunk.
He was very gracious about it but insisted that I walk the rest of the way. Then caught me trying to get back on round the corner and gave me a bollocking. Then we had some hunny. The End. Needs more bommyknocker.

Nearly got charged with 'breach of the peace' for telling a copper to fuck off when we were taping my mate to a lampost on his stag do.
