PWe had a case filed against us in a different state a few years back. We appointed a lawyer through a family friend as we didn’t know anyone over there. The lawyer assured us of prompt service . Whenever we asked him about the fees he would be like ” arrey koi nahi aage dekh lenge, ghar ki baat hai ” n all that crap. For almost 15 months he kept giving us updates on the case but never shared any docs. Finally frustrated we asked someone from mumbai to get us an update. And surprise surprise, out of 4 hearings our lawyer never attended any of the hearings. 0 . The judge had almost ruled the case exparte but we were able to get there at the last min. Finally we managed to get an out of court settlement with the other party at about 25% of his claim . And the damn audacity of the lawyer that his fees is 10% of the initial claim amount ! What a shit show !PWorth a shot. % can be negotiated. You just gotta find a balance .
He was pretty keen to ask you to hold back the sellers 10%.
PHad the same issue a few years back. Once he said he is on his way to the courtroom as we were next in line, asshole didn’t show up. Instead sent a junior lawyer to take another date.didnt answer my calls for a hour and when he did says he had to leave due to an emergency. Followed up with him on a daily basis to get the case transferred to another lawyer. He just kept dragging his feet to give the noc and hand over the docs. Took me 4 months to do it.
Just be patient and keep pushing these guys have thick skin and zero morals.
