Beware Of Canada Law Society Fraud That Hides Complaints Against Lawyers

[Scotty Davis]

This is painful to admit but the Law Society does not really protect the public. If you have a problem with a lawyer in Canada - go to the police directly and file criminal charges. Going to the Law Society is a waste of your time and hopes for justice. They are not your advocate. They exist only to protect their members and make money from them with hefty membership fees and the interest money from their trust funds. Here is a case of a very aggressive and bold predatory lawyer lawyer named Solicitor William Gilmour. Guess how many complaints were filed against him? I know of two but there could have been 50 or even more, but the Law Society won't even tell you that even one was filed against him, EVEN IF HE WAS DISBARRED IN ANOTHER COUNTRY OR PROVINCE!

Read this complaint for yourself and see if this guys past should be hidden or plastered on city billboards in your opinion...http://gilmourlawsocietycomplaint.wordpress.com One week before the Law Society of Upper Canada told me this guy was a member in good standing, he was arrested on August 14th, 2001 for child abuse! How the hell can he be endorsed by the Law Society?

Now then, ask yourself how anyone in their right mind could dismiss a complaint like this? Now check this out... a witness list of 19 people was provided to the law society by the victim yet not even one of them were contacted, much less interviews by any "investigator". Furthermore the victim says he was never given any reason why the complaint was dismissed, the name of the investigator, nor any information on how to appeal the decision. The law society is a joke - just an old boys club of fellow thieves who watch each other's backs. But they have a nice cafeteria and lounge for their accused lawyers to relax.

If anyone out there disagrees with me, I would love to debate this issue with you here and now. IMO, there is no reason the public is not entitled to have the Law Society complaint record of any and all attorneys in Canada. Who can possibly disagree and why?

Deju vu, feels like I have been here before

 

[Scotty Davis]

Yeah, there are boatloads of complaints and articles about the secrecy of the Law Society, but nothing changes. Parliament should pass a law that mandates the law society to notify the police in writing of any member accused of a crime.

Lawyers and Courts are under the domain of the BAR. The seat is the City of London, they worked long and hard to get things just the way they like it. They won't be changing anything.
Another thing the Society is supports Lawyers being able to screen complaints in other avenues. Lawyer Referral is that body where the caller gets to reveal all the important parts of his case and they know if it is going to be worth some money to them. I have no doubt a few are said to have no merit when it does and they are just protecting 'a friend'.

The place changes would take place is the City of London as Lawyers and Courts are controlled by the BAR.
Crown Temple Lawyers and Admiralty Law are two subjects they follow with little to no fanfare.

I personally think Law Society officials need to be sued and prosecuted when they conceal criminal acts of a lawyer. What do you think of example complaint used in the OP? What would you do?

 

[MHz]

If he was arrested a week before and they told you he was in good standing then that would be illegal. He was arrested after then the crime may not have been known about. Did you deserve a call to update you, probably as far as I am concerned, in their eyes probably not.

Where did the page go that covered this specif issue?
I read the 'Vic' article and apparently Lawyers lie about a lot of things, most everything. Can't say I disagree with that thought.

Freedom begins with a lawyer in the crosshairs and a finger on the trigger.

Wanna know the difference between a dead lawyer on the side of a road and a dead dog on the side of the road? Skid marks are before the dog.

LOL! I think every solicitor and barrister in Canada should be required to take a polygraph test that only asks a handful of questions like...


* Did you cheat any of your clients this year?


* Did you lie to any of your clients this year?


* Did you inflate any of your billings to clients this year?


* Did you take or make any bribes this year?


* Did you commit any felony crime this year?


This should be done by the Canadian Bar and then only a "Pass / Fail" national report by province and city be posted on the internet for everyone to see. People like that Gilmour guy would be quickly exposed and starved out of the legal profession. What do you guys think?

This is not new IMO. Lawyers have been protecting each other for decades. It is extremely hard to find a lawyer to sue another in the same city. My cousin had a situation where a lawyer basically stole some deposits and she ended up importing a lawyer from a neighboring city to file a claim. When she went to file a complaint at the Law Society (I was with her), some "resolution specialist" spent over an hour trying to convince her not to call the police and let them get a refund. They actually made her sign an agreement that says she could not talk to the police, news media, or "any third party". What a racket they have going on. God forbid if a lawyer cheats me in the future, I'm going straight to the cop shop and I will let the Courts sort it all out.

 

[lone wolf]

Which cop shop?

 

[personal touch]

the lack of interest in public good starts with recipical agreements,many factors influence these recipical agreements.
the law society or counterparts have been tainted with political influences,as every other public interest institutions.
the whiskey and water syndrome knows no boundries.
law societies and associates are different from province to province,but in recent times,they share common visions.

my experiences would say the law societies of canada are useless.

so would the maythorpe 4 familes say the same thing if they only knew.

Good luck with that one! Most judges have been lawyers before becoming judges. Lawyers depend on the police for background checks and such, and maintain a good working relationship with them.

Some years ago I wrote a poem that part of it read

What are we gonna do about the law
At worst the law is crooked
and at best there is a flaw
Oh what are we gonna do about the law.

Nothing has changed the whole legal system is based on
words theatrics and technical nonsense it has little or
nothing to do with justice

 

[Dixie Cup]

Something should be changed but will it? Most politicians as bloody lawyers! If we could outlaw lawyers running for political office, I'm thinking our government would run much better!


My brother had a "situation" in a small Ontario town and needed a lawyer - no one in the area would take his case - he had to go to Toronto! Unbelievable!

They should be made to swear on the Bible every time they open their mouths and be prosecuted for perjury should their statements prove to be false.

The original poster doesn't even seem aware that Law Societies are PROVINCIAL, not federal.


Based on that, nothing else in that post is worth considering.
