Legal firm demanding me to pay remaining fee

Please, anyone from this forum guide, me what to do at this situation, shall I proceed with a new lawyer by giving an affidavit to court for changing the lawyer or else shall I pay the remaining fee.

Thanking you in anticipation

What are they blackmailing you about? (1) For one, you do not need any NOC or anything from anybody or any previously retained lawyer/law firm for terminating their authority to plead your case. (2) No law firm or lawyer has any right to impose any lien on your case file, documents etc. and they have to return all your case documents on demamd, irrespective of the status of fees paid.

Engage a new lawyer. Have him appear in Court and make a statement at Bar that that the previous lawyer is no longer authorized. If the lawyer/law firm refuses to return your documents or case file, make a complaint to the State Bar Council. Talk to the law firm/lawyer a last time, and tell them, this is exactly what you intend to do. If they still persist, go ahead and do it. If they return the documents and NOC take it and then make a complaint to Bar Concil anyways, describing the entire event. Let them try their hand at recovery and produce that Bar Council complaint then, if these chaps have nothing better to do than sue for recovery of professional fee.

Damned blots on profession 😒

Dear Queriest,

Its very simple

1.First send a mail and a legal notice by yourself through Register post to ytour advocate and ask him to cancel his vakkalath as well to give no objection.

2.If  he doesnt give,just prepare a simple memo stating that you dont require this advocates representation and hence you are cancelling his vakkalath.Give your advocate  a copy of the same memo.Thats it.If he needs money, let him file recovery suit against you.Most of the lawyers cheats thier clients who is ignorant of law. 

I am one of the victim of lawyers betrayal.Try either one of the aabove points and try learing law.

Friends, Atul and Tamilian

Thank you very much for your prompt reply in time.

Shall I request NOC through register post, can anyone forward sample requesting format of 'No Objection Certificate'.

Thanking you in anticipation

Just take a format of legal notice from your case.Instead of Advocates name you can keep your name.You have legal rights to send a legal notice to advocate or anyone.You dont need an advocate to send a legal notice or LLB.

I agree with the advise of Mr Atul.
