Thanks to all of our readers who have already sent in their Lawyer Blacklist
details. We have been astonished by the response as we have received 50+
to date and some have come from interstate as well.
We here at WCV's fully understand the grief caused by incompetent, money
hungry and uncaring lawyers and law firms, who just see us as fast bucks
and we want to do something constructive about it.
We did contact the Victorian Law Institute for information on their
registered lawyers performances but it seems that, they don't keep one?
So we are! We feel injured workers should be able to choose who defends
them and should have the right to know if they (the lawyer or firm) are
competent enough to do the job.
We have found that injured workers believe that because they are lawyers
that they know what they are doing, and we here at WCV's know that,
that is a fallacy!
Make your stand now, and let them all know we are not going to be pushed
around anymore, and if they don't do their jobs and protect their clients
then, they will end up on the Blacklist and hopefully, out of business!.
Please keep your stories coming in and maybe we can make these lawyers
accountable?
We also had some concerns from readers about what will actullay be listed.
We can confirm that, any readers who list a lawyer or firm will not have
their personal details listed.
All information provided will be kept confidential at all times, so dont
be afraid to send your listings in!

Such a list is vital to learn of a few tried and failed situations where professionals have not represented clients as much as themselves. However, I believe another list would prove to be of even more benefit, especially if such a list could be organized into specialities, histories, and events of interest regarding representation of workers issues, a listing of those lawyers or firms that are tried and proven to perform at an excellent level of success. A doctor can offer a percentage of success for a particular eye surgery and might even know his own percentage as well, but why not a lawyer. Regardless of fee, which is not an unimportant consideration, is the issue of success. All ethical and effective law practice is not created equal either.
