The legal scammer who cost vulnerable clients thousands
Court hearings that never happened, fake documents, a non-existent social worker – a legal scam which targeted vulnerable people has been uncovered by a BBC investigation.
At the centre of the operation is Craig Johnson, who promised “award-winning legal services”.
But dozens of people say that they paid him thousands of pounds for services that didn’t happen.
The BBC also understands that he is under investigation by police in Kent and Cumbria.
A lawyer acting for Mr Johnson says he has co-operated with a professional investigation into his practices and will not discuss individual cases.
