Does anyone have any advice how to deal with a lawyer which hasn't been fair ?
My friend used a lawyer to help reclaim a lot of money she was owed which had sent her into debt through no fault of her own.
The lawyer mentioned his costs on the phone and she didn't get it written unfortunately but when he managed to get the money for her he has just taken many thousands more as his frees and without permission .
Is there anything my friend can do? There must be a body which checks legal standards or something? It sounds like he behaved unprofessionally in other ways too and taken advantage of her veibg vulnerable
