You have to file complaint against the Lawyer at Advocates association with all the documentary proof. It is always mandatory to maintain records which regard to money transfer. Do you have any records to show that you have paid the Lawyer?

Some lawyers would charge even rs.50k for one hour consuktation. If you had hired a lawyer and has not done any work, then you can ask him to refund the amount. If he still cannot refund the amount, you can complain the same to Bar Council.

In what mode have you given the money to the lawyer, neft, cheque, cash or DD. You can send a notice with a copy to the State bar council for cheating and recovery of money.
And in which city has this been happened.
