I recently arrived at Central law in Gander for an appointment I had confirmed by email. Upon arriving I was told I could not meet with a lawyer, my appointment was days earlier, and that I did not reply to confirm the appointment for the day that I had arrived. When indeed I had. The lady then insisted I was wrong. I actually had to retrieve my phone from my car and show the conversation to prove I indeed did agree to meet on that day, on that time days earlier. I live 1hr out of town.
