****MED - REFUSAL TO REPAY CLIENTS DEPOSIT

This law firm has cost us pain and frustration since January 2024.This firm was was supposed to transfer a land that we had were in the process of buying. A deposit of over 200k was paid in addition to their attorney fees in November 2023. Portia Chilwane one of the directors who was handling the transfer would delay responding to our emails, nor pick up our calls and kept giving us incorrect information until she decided to cancel the registration process due to a reason known to her. We accepted that but now the fight to get our deposit started. Since March 2024 till date we're still chasing her to pay us back our money. She proceeds with lying to us, every week she gives a new excuse for not paying us. 16 May 2024 she said she made a payment but refused to send the POP. Few days later she came back with another excuse yet she had communicated that the payment was done. We have suffered significant financial loss due to this firm. We're even starting to question if this was **** because it sure seem like it. This has also affected our perception in working with black firms in the future. Also every time we want to meet Portia Chilwane we get excuse after excuses. Its obvious they used our deposit money for their personal reasons. Beware of this firm
