  • Get back the money my former lawyer owes me

    I got my former family lawyer's bill assessed and I won. The judge reduced my bill for about 1/3 plus my expenses for filing the bill assessment. now it's almost 2 months and the shitty lawyer (Gonen Snir based in Ottawa) still doesn't pay me. Could anyone please tell me what I can do to enforce him to pay me? should I initiate some kind of a motion to enforce it? any information is much appreciated!

    BTW, I also encourage you to fight back if you think your lawyer is not being honest with the bill.

        I am curious what and how you were able to contest? I understand if he wrote he was with you in court 9 hours, but in fact he was only 30 minutes, it could be contested, but how do you fight "writing this brief or this letter should've take 60% of the time"
