Our built-in lawyer or service review/rating system helps future clients select the right service provider. Normally, AfricanLaw is not involved in the user review process as this would defeat the purpose of the review system. However, in the event that a client submits an unfair or baseless review of a lawyer, we will make an effort to work with both the client and the lawyer to resolve the issue. You can contact us on support@allthingsipforafrica.com for assistance.
