ECR Nilsen Attorneys review: Gangster-type demands for payment

STAY AWAY FROM THIS LAW FIRM! My husband was unemployed for five months last year which put huge strain on our marriage. I was referred to ECR Nilsen Attorneys for assistance. A junior partner helped me and I paid cash for the consultation. All further problems were resolved without attorneys on his advice, in the attempt to keep costs down. He managed to rack up a further R1400 worth of costs for letters/calls, of which I have no copies of. My husband accepted employment at a fifth of what he was used to earning, making it very difficult to catch up on all the backlog as a result of no income for five months, with enormous pressure from creditors, and when I offered to settle the outstanding amount in two payments, the senior partner responded with a request for 'an acceptance of judgment' form to be signed, at a further cost of R300! No wonder lawyers have such bad reputations as vultures. In disgust, I committed myself to paying the full amount, which will be to our detriment, just to get them off our back. Don't expect any human decency or understanding from this firm, they will just keep on adding to your pressure and bill.
