“Was not useful. Made my case very worse. I had all information prepared but he did not use it. Beware.
Worst was NO follow-up. No explanations whatsoever. Just continuous contracts and bills to pay for.”
“I have used many direct access barristers and are absolutely shocked by the performance of one of their barristers Chistopher McCourt. He is promoted as 'Immensely bright, hard working, reliable and definitely preferable to have him on your side in court as opposed to against you.’ I would disagree and would 100% prefer him against me for sure. Spent over £20,000 with him. Made a dogs dinner of my case. Failing to address important information in my case. Failing to respond to emails, doesn’t answer a direct question, doesn’t read case points supplied to him. Christopher Mccourt had to use documents from the other side causing confusion to the judge. The Judge referred to his statements as '‘It is absurd.’ ‘I am not fooled by’ He missed out on important information in cross examination. He very strangely asked me for a tie for day two of the trial and to do his tie up for him. Very unprofessional. He even lost my personal case documents. I can only find one review of him on 1 kings bench walk chambers trumping him up. A messy barrister. The case is now continuing without him. I wish someone like myself had written a review so I was aware of what I was getting myself involved in with Christopher Mccourt. If you are considering using him, please be very weary.”
