Cleerdin & Hamer Advocaten

Heart of professionalism !

I honestly DO NOT recommend this lawyer office! In my opinion client is the last important there. After over two years of cooperation my fiancee was done with C&H advocaten and decided to change the advocate office. I do not know if this is a lack of competence of lawyers working there or usually an attitude only to earn money on the naivety of clients, but within two years the decisions taken by one of the lawyer at C&H were on my fiancee's disadvantage. Nothing was arranged as it supposed to be from the first moment. Before even the lawyer start any work my fiancee had to pay 1500 euro and got the information it will be enough for entire divorce procedure. Well, following invoices were coming regularly and we ended up with the total of 12000 euro and registered divorce (wow! after 1,5 year). The division of property and other legal issues related to the mortgage remain unresolved. I strongly advise against them!!!

I hired Roger Jansen as my representative in my case against my employer. Unfortunately roger was only interested in filling his own pockets and milking the business for as long as possible and thus to his advantage. Eventually he fired and arranged everything himself in 2 days. Roger jansen has cost me 1500 euros for 2 emails he wrote 1 star and absolute warning to this very bad lawyer

Location Amsterdam, Via my Arag legal assistance (free choice of lawyer) ended up at this office. Apparently, the first interview was a 'bait' to deal with the case, which was quite positive. As the case progressed, I got the impression that this office was more about the money than the professional assistance of their clients. The bills were not only sent to Arag, but also to my home address. The writ of summons was already written by Arag, with which the lawyer in question saw an 'easy' earnings model in Arag. The subpoena was taken over literally, I myself (client) provided the lawyer with continuous updates of the legal texts and he copied these literally in the subpoena. The lawyer in question has made no effort whatsoever to delve into the legal texts relating to this case. This office was more concerned with filing bills and every phone call asked where the money was (I referred them to Arag), but the case was still in progress. End result; The poorer Arag budget is € 13,000, and an interim injunction is almost done on its own. The lawyer in question had not read the legal texts, because my reports about this were taken over literally (too bad). I also had to give this lawyer a lift from Amsterdam to Den Bosch (and back), spoken at most 20 minutes but declared 2 hours. (one of the scandalous examples) Scandalous!!!! I no longer have any respect for the profession of Lawyer, partly thanks to this law firm. Addition: After posting this review, I was ordered by the relevant lawyer to remove it. If I don't do this, a summons will come my way. This is how this law firm deals with them clients. Now I am very curious if Mrs. Van Broekhoven has now also been summoned in connection with her 'negative' review of this law firm.

No more services from these lawyers and I advise everyone !!!
