A customer of a law firm that was shut down and will be investigated after running into financial trouble says she is desperately worried about what happens to her will.
Carol James, 74, has her will lodged with, which has offices in Shrewsbury and Telford, and after a stressful year which has included family bereavements wants to know that everything is safe and well.
A spokesman for the Solicitors Regulation Authority said there are two ways customers who are worried about what happens can make contact. A note on the website of Terry Jones says:"The offices of Terry Jones have been closed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. For further information please call 0113 227 0385 or email [email protected]."A spokesperson for the SRA said:"Following an intervention we will contact any clients we can identify in the files seized to explain their options.
The consolidator firm, which launched in 2015 and set a target of 60 high street acquisitions in five years, has been rocked by resignations, winding-up orders and offices closures. "Further action against solicitors could either be a sanction carried out by the SRA, and could be as severe as a reprimand or a £2,000 fine. If it is decided that a stiffer punishment is required, the SRA will prosecute the matter at the independent Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal .
