I am just looking for some direction on what my next course of action will be. Long story short, a lawyer I had retained, terminated the agreement, and although I had honored all terms of our signed retainer agreement, slapped a solicitors lien on my file, submitted as per our contract and none of which was created by her. I informed the office that I had filed a complaint with the LSUC which is still ongoing... And then she served me with Small claims suit for a inflated balance owing, and not our contacted agreement, and when responding to LSUC, after multiple requests for a reply as she ignored their communication, her answer submitted has a totally different supposed agreement, different amount owing etc.
Here is the kicker....
In her submission to LSUC, she included a chronology of events. In this document, that ANYONE could type up in 5 minutes, among other inconsistancies, she states that on May 30,2012 I attended her office and SIGNED a Notice of Change of Representation document, of which she faxed to the Trial Coordinators office and also included the fax sent, but of course no copy of what I supposedly signed!!!
I DID NOT SIGN THAT DOCUMENT!!!!
She has since closed her family law practice and according to the letter received is now acting as duty cousel for criminal court.
I was referred to her by a Womens Shelter... I can only imagine how many people she has taken advantage their vulnerability.
What action options do I have?
What disciplinary action can the LSUC take if any?
Is there anywhere that I can search compliats filed by others against her or cases she has been a party to?
Please advise..
