Host of Solicitors from Hell-style sites appear following court action

"Avoiding Bad Solicitors" - registered in 2008? Surely they can't mean my little site. www.lcs-test.co.uk was a TEST of the Legal Services Complaints (LSC) in the wake of Clementi and The Legal Services Act. The complaints service failed, by the way. There IS an "avoid" section but it certainly ISN'T a list of bad solicitors ... an it dosn't mimic the law society site. If you take a peek you will see the SOURCE for those solicitors listed is quite reputable (or disreputable - depending on your view of the SRA?) Nevertheless, lhe gool ol' LS "had a go" back in 2009. I "obfuscated" my version of the logo and it all went quiet. See http://www.lcs-test.co.uk/logouse.htm Hardly in the same league as SFH and a long-standing web site hosted in the UK. Actually, the significant part of the story above (for me) is how EASY it turned out to be to thwart the LS. They spend £170,000 and all the site owner has to do is host abroad - they won't pursue it... sounds like they won';t even pursue UK based sites now, either. Once bitten... ??? ....
