Hello, I am facing a legal issue with my 1800 sqft land. I consulted an advocate, but now I suspect


25-Jul-2024 (In Civil Law)
Hello, I had a legal issue with my 1800 sqft land and hired an advocate in January 2019, before COVID. The advocate agreed to take my case and quoted a fee of ₹25,000, which I paid in full. After receiving the payment, he claimed to have filed a petition against the opposing parties. However, he did not respond to my inquiries about the case, and after nearly 12 months, he claimed it was a tough case and he was negotiating with his seniors. When I requested proof of the work done, he refused and threatened me when I asked for a refund of my fees. I am concerned that my advocate is cheating me. What steps can I take to address this issue and file a complaint against him?

you can give complaint about that advocate for his professional misconduct, before the state Bar Council which is located near High court of that state. There you can get back your money and also punish him for suspension for some period

If you have evidence for the payment of the fee then you can approach the Bar Council of the state and lodge a complaint. Then the advocate will be summoned to submit his side of story and the matter will be decided.
