I found Peter Adediran on the internet. I thought I had found not just a good solicitor but an excellent solicitor. I now know I was wrong.

Adediran did win the case for me - it did not even go to court - the other party agreed to damages and a Consent Order. I was overjoyed I had won and Adediran asked me to give a testimonial on my website and to write something for his webiste too. In the emotion of the moment I did.

But then I looked at the fees he charged - they were extortionate. I am now told they are 5-10x the going rate of a clear cut case that never went to court.

Prompted by a tip-off I then I did a little 'digging' into Peter Adediran. It transpires that a restriction was placed on his ability to practice a few years ago by the Solicitors Regulation Authority because he failed to submit account for his law practice - Tomorrows Law. Checking at Companies House I found he has not submitted accounts to them either and his company was struck off as a result.

Adediran claimed to me he was a 'leading' lawyer in Digital Media and he makes the same claim on his website. But is there any evidence to support this? Well, looking at press releases, reviews and articles written by Adediran you are lead to believe he is a leading expert.

But the Law Society tell me that experts are recognised by 'accreditations'. Neither Adediran nor his firm has any accreditations. Neither he nor his firm are listed by any rating agency. This places serious doubts on his claims to be a 'leading' lawyer. I don't believe he is a leading lawyer even though his charges probably exceed that of the very top solicitors in his field of work.

I now know that in a similar case to mine, Adediran overcharged and there were multiple cost hearings and Adediran had to reduce his charges. In another case, there was a tribunal where Adediran was forced to reduce his fees by nearly 90%!!!

One reason I chose Adediran was because of the reviews on the Good Lawyer Guide, particularly the five star ratings for fees. When I wanted to write my own review on the Good Lawyer Guide I was told that reviews for Adedrian had been blocked because Adediran had been writing reviews for himself!

The Solicitors Regulation Authority told me that Adediran had worked at another law practice - Kyriakides and Braier. Adediran was forced to withdraw a claim he made on multiple websites that he was a 'partner' at Kyriakides and Braier. Adediran was just an 'associate' and could never have been a partner because of the restriction placed on his practising certificate for failing to submit accounts to the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

The very day that any restriction was lifted from his ability to practice, Adediran left Kyriakides and Braier and went into sole practice as PAIL Solicitors. So, it was clearly a lie when he claimed to have been a partner there.

So, be warned, don't assume that if you are paying a top-notch price for legal services that will buy you a top-notch lawyer.
