ReviewTerminal Summary

Livingstone Brown delivers exceptional client care and positive outcomes for many clients, particularly in abuse redress and personal injury cases, but faces serious concerns around case management delays, communication failures, and potential conflicts of interest that have caused significant financial and emotional harm to some clients.

What customers love

  • Staff professionalism and emotional support, especially team members like Charmaine Ciancio, Kevin Pike, and Elizabeth McAlpine who are praised for compassion, responsiveness, and dedication
  • Successful case outcomes and compensation awards, with clients expressing gratitude for achieving results they could not have obtained alone
  • Clear communication and regular updates throughout cases when properly managed

Common concerns

  • Extreme delays in case progression (7-10 years cited), with documented periods of no work on files for months, causing mental strain and financial loss to vulnerable clients
  • Inadequate case management, poor preparation, and failure to communicate critical information such as court dates, leaving clients uninformed about case status and outcomes
  • Conflict of interest handling and withdrawals at critical moments, combined with financial incentives appearing to prioritize legal aid over client representation

I was put in contact with these guys…

I was put in contact with these guys through an online link with regards to historic violent abuse as a child in children's homes. I was put in touch with a lady called Charmaine, who was amazing with me every step of the way. Charmaine was in contact often keeping me updated on the case, she helped me with my statements and evidence while being very professional and caring. In the end I was awarded compensation, which I could never have imagined or achieved without the help of Charmaine. I 100% recommend these guys to anyone in a similar situation.

Charmaine…

From the outset Charmaine was very helpful, the process I had to endure took a very long time due to resolve but I always felt listened to and supported. Charmaine's diligence and tenacity was immense, she never let up in fighting my corner and was always available. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Kevin Pike and his team were amazing

Kevin Pike and his team were amazing. Contacted them nearly a year ago after the police failed to investigate my case against my ex and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help. Kevin was really compassionate and would regularly keep in contact with me to let me know what was happening and helped me obtain compensation from the miss handled case and my ex. Would highly recommend him and his team.
