Director of Collection Point Mr. Dominic Crupi said, “Today’s victory is an important one. Not only has Cornwall Stodart been defeated twice by us, this is justice being served or our justice system working the way it should. The community has now been done a great service, because it now means that even if your legal bill is over 12 months old, law firms can’t get away with excessive billing. A great result, we were very pleased.”
Client’s of Cornwall Stodart Lawyers should check their legal bills carefully.
Stay tuned, this saga is not over, Cornwall Stodart lawyers still have this matter and another going on.
