Re: All because she never expected to be in JA all this time

that's the going retainer rate for a "regular" law firm in these parts of the world.

obviously higher profile firms have retainers up to and over 25,000

Only thing I can say is, lawyers who demand 5000 dollars to update a permit - immigration, work, whatever - don't seem lawyers to me, but crooks!!

Hope it works out! </div></div>

Re: I am in a helpless emotional state. Need to talk

Wendy just wondering if she could prolly send a letter to Governing Body of Law Society. We have that in Canada Upper Law Society something something. Similar to like Better Business Bureau where you can report companies.

Along the lines like....stating her situation and stress pon the humanitarian side of it....job loss thing. So if they contact the lawyer she can get bug immigration and try speed it up. You have to try every likkle ting iiena

Thinking maybe if a body like this contact the lawyer she will put an urgency to it.

Stormmey,

Mi tink di school stepping in woulda hint to dem the sense of urgency seeing as dem did tell the attorney thay can keep her substitute but for so long. \o/

I had mention to her earlier that if she did manage to come bacj up to report the attorney to the BAR association and find a new firm to deal with. But mi undastan har frame of thought now is just to get this thing over with.
