The legal system had failed to protect me or provide justice, and I was at my wits’ end. Then one day in 1991 I was introduced to a man called John Flynn, who styled himself as The Solicitors and Barristers Watchdog.
I met Flynn, and was impressed with his claims of success and his aggressive approach to calling out bad lawyers. He didn’t demand huge sums of money, and I had nothing to lose. I summarised my problems, handed him a ton of paperwork to support my case, and let him kick up a stink for a couple of years.
He doubtless caused problems in various offices, but at the end of the day I saw no benefit from his efforts.
