We are a tenants association in Mumbai and had engaged a lawyer to fight our case in High Court against the builders who have bought the two tenanted properties. He had told us that two petitions are required to be filed and charged us Rs.25000/- for each petition till judgement. We had agreed to pay 50% advance and 50% after judgement but some how he extracted the full amount in advance for which we have evidance. To our utter shock he filed only one petition and in that too missed to attened the court intentionally on a important hearing while second petition is not filed at all. Due to this pure cheating we want to recover the money that we have paid and terminate the work given to him but do not know where to complain. Imagine how he bringing ill repute to profession of lawyers. Pl. help as we are middle class families and can not afford wastage of money due to such cheating.

It is not that easy and this is one side of the story only. Many people just blame an advocate if the results as per their wishes are not there.
More ever the clients are also at fault since they do not have full knowledge of law and procedures and hence for all the shortcomings blame the advocate.
Be ready to face defamation case also by the concerned advocate if you are not able to prove your story.
