I would not recommend Digby Brown LLP…
I would not recommend Digby Brown LLP (Edinburgh), based on my experience. I found the firm lacking in transparency and difficult to deal with throughout my case. I dealt with a staff member called Colin, who asked me to transfer £100 for searches relating to the person I was taking legal action against. I transferred the money, but I was never given a clear explanation of what searches were carried out or what the £100 was actually used for. I also had concerns about how important information was handled. On one occasion, I needed to respond to a third party within a set time, but the relevant information was not passed to me until very late, leaving me almost no time to respond properly. Another issue arose when a journalist contacted me about my case, which had attracted some attention in Scotland at the time. Instead of focusing on progressing my case, I felt there was an attempt to take control of that contact with the journalist. My impression was that the interest was more about using the situation as an opportunity for publicity and attracting potential clients than about acting in my best interests. When I ended the working relationship, I did not receive my case notes, which added to my concerns about how the matter had been handled overall. Based on my experience, I found the firm underhand and unhelpful, and I would strongly advise others to think carefully before engaging them.
