Conveyancing Brisbane

I am trying to sell my conveyancing business in Australia and I have been told by a lawyer who said he was interested that the goodwill I have built up over 6 years from starting my business from nothing till now is worth nothing. I was flaberghasted. Does anyone know a fair way to value a business that is composed of good will with a 25% component of work in progress which is to be sold with the business????? I don’t want to give it away after 6 years of hard work and would love someone with conveyancing experience to enjoy the freedom of working from home and earning a good income and who is willing to pay me a fair price for all my hard work. I am retiring…I am sooo tired…..Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I was abused at a dyslexic school in Suffolk in 1997. A conviction of 6 years was reached for the abuser at the Ipswich Crown court. And was awarded 12,000 pounds for mental anguish, and my mother father were also given 12,000 for lost school fee’s and air fairs, but what they claimed for was 50,000. However I feel that 12,000 pounds is not enough, to make up for my lost childhood. I have been trying to find out if I have recourse for a seconder claim. And have been using a well known law firm ( small but well known ) but have been very unhappy with there service. In 8 months all that has been done is write too the old school and that is it. (I found out >>)The school was sold in 1998. The lawyer told me, it was most likely that there was nothing too be done. However I tracked down the ex-owner myself from Australia as well as the school’s lawyers at time, I also had to hire a PI to help confirm my finding. I don’t feel I should have had to do this, as I am the client. They ignore my questions and instructions regarding my case. And for every 6 emails I send them I get one very short one back. I am doing more running around here in Australia then they are in the UK. Now ….know one knows if a full and final statement was ever sighed. As I was 13 at the time. My lawyer’s legal aid said she did not think it would be a problem if it had been sighed as I was under the age of 18. A media exclusion contract was sighed ( it was for 5 years ) but that is all, that my mother and father can remember, witch they felt forced to sigh as it was. We did not have proper legal advise, having been recommended to a firm, but where told they would not take on the case, but would be there in a supportive roll only. Funny they still sent us the bill! We found out some time after that they were not child abuse experts and were more corporate lawyers then anything. All our documents where lost when we moved to Australia, witch has slowed things down. However the old school lawyers have full copy’s, witch my lawyers are meant to be requesting, but it has been 2 weeks and has heard nothing at all.

I am now 25 , MY Lawyers contacted me via facebook , asking for info on abuse of a school by the same name but in Norfolk. I was with in my statute. And my mind had only just turned to litigation.

I have written to 8 different abuse claimant lawyer firms to ask for a second opinion . Is there anything more that I should/ could be doing ???

I have been chasing up the house contract to my lawyer/conveyancer for 4 months. At first one of the employee there told me that they don’t normally send the contract, they usually keep it in their office but if I want a copy he can send it to me. So i waited but nothing came. I called again then another employee told me that it should be sent a month ago and could not do anything if it was lost in the mail. She said she cannot provide me another copy and told me why do i need the contract anyway. i then spoke to the actual lawyer and told me she will get a copy but it’s been more than a month but she’s still telling me that its on its way. How important is the house contract. is it worth calling them every week?

The amount i ended up accepting was even below the low range amount that my lawyers had said i could receive.The evidence i had was actually a report that was requested by the CMC,that proved the dept of childrens services(DOCS),failed duty of care to me as a child,by knowing i was being exposed to all forms of abuse by the approved carers i was given to as a baby.They removed me at age 10, but also removed 4 of there biological kids as well.I had a back injury,i have scars on my face dating back to the age of 2, i have no recall of how i got the scars only my file i requested through FOI,gave me that info, plus that i had a broken arm and finger formation marks around my neck.There is much more that is documented that should of warranted my removal many times from the carers.I know i could win in court but i listened to my barrister and lawyer whom that day, didnt even bother to highlight issues that are in my favor,i know that this dept. is rarely proven to be held accountable for their failures, so i know i achieved a legal level that had been denied to other victims.I can not say publicly what i got, only it was resolved,but i made sure that there were no restrictions in me telling my story and i will.By the way on signing the outcome documents, i never was given the chance to read the documents myself, my barrister just read out loud bits of it, should i have had the legal rights to be given the papers to read myself before signing?Another reason why i feel i was shafted, is when i was signing where i was told to sign, my barrister noticed that i was left-handed and says qoute"if i had known you were lefthanded, i would of gotten you more money" i felt a kick in my gut right there.I would hate to think that i made a wrong decision that day, that i know ended with an amount that now i feel i failed not only myself now as an adult, but i also failed a little girl whom i know suffered enormous pain,me.

I got arrested and charged with offensive behaviour and hinder police in May. To cut a long story short my mate got punched by a bouncer and I called the cops. The cops ended up arresting me and my mate (the one that got punched). They used excessive force – my mate is only about 50kgs and 4 cops + 1 bouncer jumped on her! We spent the night in lock up and had to go to court. We both pleaded not guilty so the judge ordered the cops to put together a brief and hand that to my solicitor by 4pm tomorrow. I was meant to have a meeting with my lawyer at 4pm tomorrow to go over the brief. But my lawyer just called and said the cops won’t have the brief in on time. What happens from here? The judge ordered the brief be received by that time but now the cops are not upholding that….is it likely that my charges will get dropped and case thrown out of court?
Cheers
