What can I add to the other reviews, I think they are illustrative. The primary risk with this organisation is that all information provided against the legal practitioner is placed under legal privilege. The organisation has demonstrated to threaten with jail terms if you start to complain to external parties, when they are poor performing, well outside the initial parliamentary intention of this privilege. Effectively you can not express your dissatisfaction to other parties as you cannot provide particulars. Practically it is just a sort of honeypot where complainants are silenced to the benefit of the profession until their statutory term expires. Case solved for the lawyer.

My advise dont go there.They look after their colleagues. No complains are regarded as genuine though it may be genuine if you are being ripped off by lawyers

On the side of the lawyers. They openly stated that despite the lawyer lying they would not investigate such despite the lawyer harassing and bullying us they wouldn’t investigate. These guys are an absolute joke. Not only did they not read the information provided correctly they then confirmed that they hadn’t read such in this letter. The lawyer lied and pretended to be the lawyer I had appointed while they were away. The fact that a lawyer can get away with that, threatening clients, making huge mistakes in court documents, not following client instructions and still not get investigated is shows that no one cares about people they only protect their own. These guys are on the same benchmark as centrelinks robodebt an absolute joke.

My personal opinions only: I can vouch for all the negative reviews of the LSC. They are extremely impersonal, pass the buck etc. My complaint concerns a barrister, Kevin Kelso. After months not hearing from the LSC , they suddenly decide to refer my complaint to the Bar Association. Why can’t the LSC investigate it themselves? The complaint was concerning Mr Kelso abandoning me. If you use legal aid, you are doomed, and it seemed Mr Kelso wasn’t prepared to give me sound help or legal advice because I was using legal aid. As with all legal aid, as soon as you challenge your legal team, they refuse to work with you. Mr Robert Raiti , my previous solicitor in worked in conjunction with Mr Kelso was unhelpful, if not worse. From day 1 he looked down at me also and judged me instead of fighting my case. He was rude to me at times also. I’ve also expressed my concerns to Legal Aid about these people, and it’s been months and still have not heard from them. If you get either of these people above don’t let them work with you. They are arrogant and condescending. Update: had a “reply” from the Bar Association asking me an inane stupid question asking me if an alternative legal team took over my case in time for my next hearing which I believe was a trick question or to catch me off guard and to cause more delays . Their question was entirely irrelevant to my complaint I put forward. I replied to this with YES but this question is none of their business and still have not heard an outcome. The LSC and Bar Association deliberately put you through this bureaucratic cycle so your complaint ends up not getting addressed.

Don't waste your time, they are on the side of the lawyers and have no interest in helping resolve complaints.

I was tricked into being represented in a taxation matter by Zeke Bentley of Irish Bentley lawyers who told me they were "taxation specialists" and had been in business "since 1972" with both of these claims on their website. Well, they not only completely stuffed up my taxation problem and then overcharged me thousands more than they said they would including charging me for the mistakes they made! After witnessing how bad they were I found out Zeke Bentley himself has been sued TWICE by the Australian Taxation Office in the last few years for hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid tax and group tax as well as being charged for filing false statutory declarations (which can all be looked up on the Queensland Courts website) and his firm was started on the 14 March 2003 and not 1972 as he claimed. As if I would have hired a lawyer who was being sued by the tax office to represent me in a tax office matter. I complained to the Queensland Law Society who did nothing and then found out that Zeke Bentley is a personal friend of Bill Potts who is the Queensland Law Society President. How convenient. The Queensland Law Society is a joke. Don't waste your time. I then complained to the Legal Services Commission who also did nothing and found out Zeke Bentley is also a personal friend of Robert Brittan who is the Legal Services Commissioner. Gee, it's great to have friends in high places isn't it. Don't waste your time with these people either, they are worse than the Queensland Law Society.
