Worst solicitor ever! A complete rip off! Cajoling with the authorities in order to abuse the most vulnerable members of society!

Kate Edwards was recommended to my family and Is in October 2018 as a solicitor to help us with an opposition to my application to court of protection to be the deputy for my Mother. I am fully aware of the deep flaws surrounding COP but Im afraid i found her knowledge and advice was erroneous to say the least. Her lack of trust in what we said and evidence we provided to her was more than evident. Even after I took advice from the legal department within the government department were i work, of how to proceed, she dismissed it and refused to take this approach. She continued to correspond with the opposing solicitor after we asked her to cease doing so as it served no purpose apart from increasing legal costs for both solicitors. She even helped and advised the opposing solicitor leading up to the day the of the court hearing on the 10/4/19. On that day, the opposing solicitor even finally admitted to her that he had absolutely no evidence to prove his clients claims, but she made the decision to not act upon this, and bring it to the attention of Judge Anson- and I was dismissed from attending the hearing which i was more than prepared to do. What is even more concerning is that she told me in her own words that the opposing solicitors and his clients 'gravy train' would end at the COP hearing on the 10/4/19 when she manipulated us in to agreeing to a panel deputy prior to the hearing. We found out on 2/11/20 in what i can only describe as a totally humiliating telephone conversation with Master Howarth at the SCCO, that the 'gravy train' was NOT going to end until our Mother sadly passed away-(which she did on16/1/20)- ultimately costing us even more thousands of pounds in legal costs. He was extremely patronising and critical of Mrs Edwards and stated that we had to pay all the legal fees incurred by the opposing solicitor, as she, rightly or wrongly had agreed to it. Mrs Edwards did not send my family and I a copy of a court order issued on 10/4/19, which contained ambiguous wording regarding costs-which was open to abuse by the opposing solicitor and his client. As a COP Solicitor i would have expected her to have known this fundamental fact. It is evident now that the opposing solicitor had no knowledge of COP but he still managed to outwit her at every turn and this is simply not good enough. In the end, we are left feeling that she had more loyalty and trust in an opposing solicitor even though he continually lied to her than she ever had for her own client. Even the panel deputy she sought out stated that she should have personally raised her concerns about his deceit with the SRA. I have tried to contact Mrs Edwards on several occasions for clarification and to bring my concerns to her attention but both she and Wrigleys complaints department have chosen to not respond.
