Getting nervous about my lawyer

A lot of lawyers rely upon their secretaries to iron out their own shortcomings.

I know a lawyer who is dyslexic but this does not show in documentation as it gets sorted in dictation. The lawyer in question is absolutely excellent in every other respect.

Email is also a relatively new method of communication which leads to lawyers - who did not traditionally do their own typing - doing their own typing. With warts and all.

Self-serving typists are also a problem. I remember sending a legal aid bill to Birmingham County Court for assessment - it was only some weeks later once the judge had assessed the bill that I noticed I''d missed the ''o'' out of County....

Mobile devices add their own levels of complexity what with predictive text and other ''helpful'' features. Trying to proof read communications on a screen is a lot harder than on paper especially if the screen is 4.5 inches and bouncing around on a train!

I understand how you feel. My ex''s solicitor''s letters are full of grammatical mistakes which sometimes mean the letters have more than one interpretation, they have also got my name wrong three times!
From my perspective it''s important to have confidence in your solicitor, if you don''t have confidence with your Solicitor you may end up in a position where you feel you have been disadvantaged by their representation. Having been in the same position myself I changed solicitors. Might seem like an odd analogy but if you weren''t happy with the garage servicing your car you wouldn''t keep going back there would you?
That said, we all make grammatical mistooks, humans don''t get everything right all of the time.
