Deceived and overcharged for services

Last year I approached the Biccari Bollo Mariano Inc (BBM) law firm for a sectional title dispute which I wanted to go to court to resolve.<br> After visiting the property in dispute, I was told that I needed to first try a letter of demand then arbitration before going to Court and that I had a good chance in the dispute. <br> I followed their advice and after their plan was unsuccessful, I asked to proceed with taking the case to Court and they commenced Court applications with their attorney. After continuous billing for their services I was suddenly told the attorney dealing with my case had left. The new attorney needed to once again see the property (and charged again therefore) then advised me that I had no case and cannot go to Court, even though I had previously been told I could and that they were in the Court process.<br> <br> I was misled by the firm for almost a year as they actually provided no benefits but swindled me to make money.
