Solicitors from Hell website owner Rick Kordowski is being threatened with court action by more than 100,000 lawyers after he set up the website which names and shames members of the profession alleged to have given bad service.
It is not the first time Mr Kordowski’s website has been the cause of controversy. The bankrupt self-employed graphic designer has been sued 16 times for libel and still owes more than £150,000 in fines. Mr Kordowski, who sees the website as a public service, told the Independent: “There’s a need for my website, as many people have said, and it makes them feel better for being able to post on it.“All I need is an appropriate story from someone which is useful to other people and their contact details.“I see it as helping people voice their complaints – and it has been working: authors have contacted me and said, ‘I’ve now sorted it out with my solicitor, please can you take my listing down’.”If Mr Kordowski refuses to close his site down, he will appear before a High Court Judge to face charges of alleged defamation, harassment and breaches of the Data Protection Act. He must also promise not to launch a similar site in the future.More than 100,000 solicitors, represented by the Law Society, have banded together to threaten him with legal action if he fails to shut down his website.It seems that Mr Kordowski remains defiant, having reportedly threatened to sue the Law Society’s chief executive Des Hudson himself for defamation.
