Impeccable Efficiency !

Solicitors as a breed are not noted for their alacrity, but Sandy Collings is surely the exception that proves the rule. Whatever detail crops up, be it big or small, she's on it instantly. I cannot recommend her too highly.

Beyond useless, had the sad misfortune of thinking coodes were any good, i needed help against cornwall council social services who were illegally funding my late Mums care fees. I could not meet them face to face (even though covid was passed), always chasing, the communication was appalling and by e-mail(you ask 3 questions and may get a reply for one). When the judge set deadlines and the council were not adhering to them i told coodes to notify the court, they kept saying"oh we willgive them a bit longer", eventually i had to contact the court myself as coodes and the councils solicitors had agreed to "push back" a judges deadline by 4 weeks. I applied with a N244 to get the case thrown out because the council were breaking judges deadlines, at the hearing the judge agreed with me that the council had breached the deadlines and had no legal reason for doing this, when i stated i had an instruction from my solicitors(coodes) that both parties had agreed to move a "judges deadline" which is not allowed, the councils barrister pointed out it was in fact coodes that had asked for this?. The judge denied the councils barristers costs and said it was the councils fault she was in court today and i was quite within my rights to bring the matter to the courts attention, but coodes had let me down, unbelievable, i had been asking coodes to notify the court and they never had the decency to tell me it was them who had broke the judges orders on this occasion making it one all so to speak. They thensaid they could not represent me as any trust had gone so threw me under the bus, head of department Mel grose also informed me she had done something she shouldn't have by contacting the council head lawyer Alan perry direct as she felt the case was being handled by juniors and that he could"give them a nudge to speed things up". They also refused tme any access to all the evidence they were holding about the casewhich some had been sent direct to them with my permission. Obviously they have their reasons for not wanting to go against the council. I would recommendthat if they were the only solicitors in Cornwall that you contact one in Devon
