sigh... sometimes deal with fren is even worse. My fren introduce a lawyer firm for me to handle my loan application. It has been farking long and a lot of mistakes in the agreement. No communication and documents not properly arranged. I have forced to make few trips back to hometown to let my parents sign the document and come back and now i have to go back AGAIN! I'm very pissed off. More over they x come to explain about the agreement/document to me, just send a runner to ask me sign. When i ask him where to sign, he also has no idea. I feel that the lawyer is very not professional. Where can i complaint their service?

Moderator, can i disclose the Lawyer firm name? So that others can beware about this lawyer firms that provide bad service!!!

Yes, you're right, most of lawyers I meet are not professional.

After they get your business, they don't give proper service.

That;s why better to hire a lawyer close to your house so that you can go there and complain all the time.

Please tell us the lawyer firm name . We need to blacklist them.

+10 !

My lawyer never show their pro ethic too.
They dont give good service now and I didnt expect any service later.

They should go and learn from the salesman. (since u study the heck much, but never act like u do) (hmm..im a salesman)
Learn to follow up, initiative and take responsibilities. (say call me but never, i always i call only)
Dont sit around and waste time, and talk nonsense when we question!

I'm going to complaint as well, thanks for the info.

This post has been edited by dvinez: Jul 13 2009, 04:09 AM

the problem would be how to get a good lawyer....I think it all depends on luck

we tend to search someone recommended from our friends....that's normal common sense....but we also need to be lucky....hope i'll be lucky too

so far my lawyer is very responsible and they update me by calling me when there is any changes. The law firm is Lee & Tee in Bandar Puchong Jaya.

Ya I also lucky to have good laywer, even came to meet me at A&W store where it was convineant for me (to sign SPA) and offered to buy me food.

Happy with his service that I'm trying to get loan from the bank where he is in panel so he can continue to be my lawyer. He didn't try to persuade me to get his bank, just asked me to go to different banks to compare, when I told ODBC giving me better rate he said better go there, but I called up his bank (Hong Leong). The agent said can negotiate.

Must be careful to get good laywer, if get bad laywer you are screwed.

This company has already been blacklisted ! Rude and lazy staff and lawyer.

Your lawyer meet you just to get your money. Once you have paid all your money, then we'll know whether he's a good lawyer.

After sales service is the best judgement of a good lwayer.

How's his after sales service after few months ?

write a letter to the firm n ugut to write to the Bar Council, then u will see the improvement...

This post has been edited by mat403: Jul 16 2009, 04:37 AM

I don't know yet, only day before yesterday he came to collect money and sign SPA, but before that he had attended to my queries in a friendly way. One reason I didn't help promote his name yet is because I know things only half finish, once everything finish ok I'll start promoting him

Added on July 16, 2009, 9:23 amSometimes junior laywer at the firm lazy, just try to complain to the partners (owner of firm) directly, if they don't do anything than confirm it's a lousy firm.

This post has been edited by cic.lemur: Jul 16 2009, 09:23 AM

It's the partners of the firm that is lazy and arrogant.

i also want to complain about my lawyer.....
1st time, she ok, explain well every detail,
but after got my half payment, she lost,
net even try to call me to tell about what going on with the status of my new house.
i always need to call her and ask for update.....
last 2week, she promise me that my case will settle that week.
then, promise last week,
then yesterday.
lastly, tonight.....
now, waiting his despatch to bring my new house key......
really angry to my lawyer.......lembab buat kerja.....
no wander if u see at "pejabat mahkamah puterajaya" there a big banner said "BUAT KERJA".
heheheh

i want to complaint my vendor lawyer " N*o & N* located at old klang road....

can u imagine ... my lawyer faxed some request letter and for the past 5 days clerk in charge onleave or not received fax , or ask to refaxed and my lawyer mention pls call back if not received ... you know what.... today Thurday the cleark onleave and called lawyer Ms N*O.... she tell me pls dont call her firm and she will get back to my lawyer tomorrow and hang my phone.... FXXX ......

For past one week the they do nothing and no joke....My SPA signed August 2008 and until now loan not release.... guest what ... property freehold and free from encumbrances.......take more than 1 yr to release the loan......

they never take initiative to follow up with my lawyer ......

I'm having bad experience with one of the legal firm located in the center of KL city. So far you guys are not disclosed the name of the legal firms or maybe we are not permitted to do so in this forum.

I just wonder, we can have a list of blacklisted shop/telco/bank or whatever bad service that being provided, so that we will not get the service from them again. But why we cannot have a list of bad service legal firm. I'd been search through the internet, most of the cases whereby late penalty due to balance sum is not being settled within 3 months is still paid by client even though it is the legal firm that is delaying the process, submitting the wrong documents + not follow-up closely etc.

Legal firm is suppose to have their right ethic and to advise clients (individuals or corporations) about their legal rights and responsibilities, and to represent their clients in civil or criminal cases, business transactions and other matters in which legal assistance is sought. But they are just not giving a good service, and they are not being punished, where is our justice? Why we are not allow to have a list of bad service legal firm? is that we scared of being sued?

I am also having a serious headache with my S&P lawyer. Yesterday me & seller just signed with another new lawyer for handling our transaction after terminating the (extremely lousy) service from this stupid K M Y** law firm in amcorp mall, PJ after we all felt that enough is enough(of listening to the b*llsh*t excuses from the lawyer).

Now I just pray I can get back my RM5k MOT refund from this guy. BTW, anyone know if is there any possibility I can file a complaint to bar council in order to get some refund of the legal fees paid?

i am mad about the loan lawyer (who is also my s&p lawyer)....actually not the lawyer exactly, but the staff handling the stuff

first thing, s&p printing error - i told her de, she say never mind, later on, the seller doesn't want to sign (never mind, i went back to sign again)

second thing, doesn't know how to explain (or maybe I am weak in understanding)

third thing, always say will return my call - NEVER HAPPEN

fourth thing, minor mistakes like ticking the wrong column - suppose to "deliver", tick on "undertake" - causing delays.....

So far my lawyer is pretty good. I signed my s&p on 17/11/09 and the bank has disbursed the loan on 12/01/09. They also reply every single email that I sent. I'm pretty satisfied

which lawyer it is?..

you are so lucky or wise to choose a good lawyer

my lawyer even need the seller's lawyer to teach her what to do

very bad follow up i need to remind her to give the seller's lawyer a call...

generally, never reply my email or reply my call....

but all these are beyond my control cant do anything but WAIT.....and in future, if I intend to buy another property, NEVER with this lawyer again....

I've 2 very good lawyer. And due to their professional ethnic and teamwork, they have been some of my valuable partners.

Before I've met these 2, I've fire a lot of lousy lawyers.

I am really confused - on who to believe? My lawyer says that they are pending the seller's documents, which have not arrived at their office; then the seller's lawyer called me and informed me that the documents have been courier and that she called the courier company that the documents have been delivered both tell me on the same day

and, today my lawyer is ON HOLIDAY because of public holiday....it frustrates me further

Call up and tell them straight u already check with courier company its delivered to them, ask them whats holding up the whole thing?

This post has been edited by Tohsan: Jan 29 2010, 04:22 PM

There's basically nothing much you can do now, however at the end of this, if your lawyer is the one who delay, the vendor lawyer will charge you interest. Then you can complain to the BAR council, if you drop a hint to your lawyer you may do this then maybe he'll move his ass faster.

since it was a public holiday for my lawyer, i have got only access to the person in charge through my mortgage broker who referred me to this lawyer, and thru my mortgage broker, she replied that she will check on Monday (and she confirmed with her colleagues that the documents have yet to arrived)

so confusing

i dun have the courier company name and contact number....but i shall wait till monday since it is already friday evening

Added on January 29, 2010, 5:16 pmyes, tonite i will start drafting the complain letter....

This post has been edited by leongal: Jan 29 2010, 05:17 PM

Monday is a public holiday for Wilayah area. Hope everything works out for you.

the lawyer office located in selangor, should know whether receive document onot; even if received, cant do anything until tuesday cos bank is in kl

thanks ya

u r wellcome.

I understand that after the first drawdown cheque given to the seller's lawyer, everything will depend on the seller's lawyer and my lawyer cant do anything. It is just simply the spirit of "Malaysia Boleh" - that they cannot follow up or try to check out with the seller's lawyer on when things are/ can be done; no initiative to follow up - don't kick, don't move; total suckers who only know how to ask for monies. (At least, I will be at ease if they pick up the phone at least to check out with the seller's lawyer on the status)

Then, one day say one thing, another day another thing - in fact, one day can say different things for the same issue

and yet the bank is still ignorant and continue to have this firm on the panel...

sorry to heard about your predicament..how about keep calm and do whatever necesary and lets the time tell.

i suggest that a new tread being set up to highlight on problematic lawyers and how to take action against them. Maybe a blacklist on problematic lawyers and also problematic developers. or the other way round would be list of recommended lawyers and developers.

i personally dont think they can take action against us cause even the Kementerian Dalam Negeri also got a list of blacklisted developers.

More over as long we stick to the fact and no bad mouthing.

i had a "wilder" thinking; at first, i wanted to set up a blog condemning their acts

lucky u did not... they can sue you for defamation like that

yah, i know....that's why didnt

if can start a list, i'll include my lawyer's in the NO list

hmm maybe can have a list but only privately invited ppl can view it..

i am really interested in this....but how to go about? maybe we should check out the laws first on whether we can do so?

i dun wan more people falling into the traps of this so called professionals

Added on February 26, 2010, 1:57 ammaybe instead of the firm name, we can just put the address of the firm
reasons on why they are being blacklisted by you

anyway, just a suggestion

My crippled friend had hell from AJMEER SANDHU & ONG, Bishop Street Penang. Wrecked his case, don't even want to give him copies of documents, ingnored him and coach him to loose his case. Lied to him. Really try to swallow one. The claim sum was big and this lawyer Ms. Sunita Kaur Sandhu is getting greedy like the murderer lawyer in Banting. If you have friends, stay away from her. If you already had problem with her, please report her to the Bar Council. Her agent Mr. Khaw is always seen in Penang General Hospital. I am not sure how the Ajmeer Sandhu branches in Malaysia is doing but this bishop street branch is really a hell hole. Ajmeer sandhu is her father, I think they franchise their business.

The firm took a long Hari Raya Holiday.

Sometimes, lawyers, Drs as well as accountants deem their profession are superior and invincible to complaints(especially when you question their qualification and professionalism)

how often we should call the lawyer upon to follow up the progress of house buying? somehow i felt that my lawyer is kinda cocky. don't really like the way she talk. guess i got the wrong lawyer ..duhh

Since u're paying her a professional fee for her services, u have a right to ask relevant & pertinent questions. If she's cocky then u can remind her of that fact! If she's not conducting herself professionally with reasonable diligence u can report her to the Bar Council. Some lawyers are really giving the profession a bad name like the ones in the Banting case!!

Who is the 1 who recommend you this lawyer? Deverloper lawyer????

Normally if the lawyer don't performe well, real estate agent will tend to get upset and fire the lawyer. the last decision will be recommend another lawyer which is provide better service.

my cousin recommend me this lawyer. she even forgot who am i where i need to remind her. another issue, she is hardly to get always engaged on the phone.

No wonder all the lawyers can be so cocky. Why on Earth we have to pay RM100 for processing fees to complaints when all the related information of the complaint is filed? Furthermore, tried that webpage, the document doesnt come out. So, like Chinese saying "snake rats in same pots".

lousy service from lawyers are never ending story

any black listed lawyer in seremban?

Dear all,
i'm having real big trouble with this f''k up lawyer. She's is calculating the late interest payment and other assessment. Already took 2 days. Previously she mention to us that the payment can be waive but now she said not confirm can waive, need to discuss with the owner either to waive or give discount. My question here is, i;ve ask if we will kena any late payment interest cos the whole damn procedure of this buying hse is freaky slow. She answer me no, cos the owner pass docs to her late and we can provide tht as a reason. Now that she blame the bank delay the release of $$$$..
Dear all,, i really need some advise here. this lawyer chg her words all the time.

same problem i had last time; is the amount significant?

for my case, it was rm600+, i just paid and ended the story, wasting time to deal with them - just never be their customer again....

i think almost like yr amount++.. but it wasn't really my fault. Even if its 600++, we shouldn't pay for their mistake.If we cont to pay and like everybody did, these bunch or lazy and stupid lawyer will continue their unprofessional service. If there's no way out, i wonder if we can call and negotiate with the owner?

u can try but usually they won't entertain you.....at the end of the day, my lawyer did out a stupid computation and say how the time was wasted on the owner's side and say will try to help me "claim" back....but more than 6 months already, i don't hear anything from them.... bunch of jokers....

Hmm..not sure wor. cause we got the owner's phone and we also corporate wif him when he request docs frm us. If she insist us to pay, i will definitely fight for that. she's the one who say she will tell owner cos owner submit docs to her late. now cerita lain.. wat a big piece of crap. with rm600, at least can save back on the renovation aldy..

my case the owner is the seller's lawyer oso..... [so i have been contacting her from the start]

but if you have a good owner, might works....good luck!

I got a very unpleasant experience with this lawyer. She (the lawyer) act very arrogant and when ask to quote, she just roughly wrote some figure on a piece of old paper and told me the price. Showed blacken face when ask to print out a quotation. She don't even want to say hi, shake my hand or say thank you to me at any time during the conversation. I think i would glad to pay few thousands worth of money to other lawyer who are just a few meters away from her office who will at least has a sufficient respect for their customer.

The lawyer firm is Lee & Tee as well

Don't go for YEW & PARTNERS at LEBUHRAYA SPRINT, PJU 6A.
not replying my email for more than 20days despite my several following up by phones calls and emails.

Release final payment to seller but did not check pending matter (Water bill, Indah Water, TNB and whatever will rising in future) really pissed off with this lawyer service.

I think this thread can be used to share one's experience with their lawyers whether it's good, bad or neutral.

Please avoid K J LO & CO. #05-16, SKUDAI PARADE JALAN SKUDAI, BATU 10 81300 SKUDAI at all cost especially those in JB.

The service is terrible and you need to chase and chase and chase until no end and never pick up the call.

Please avoid HANITA SELVA & ASSOCIATES located in Kajang as well.

A lawyer supposedly helps to resolve a customer's issue but Ms. Hanita were so irresponsible ! Doesn't return phone calls and SMS. Be aware everyone

.

Need advice on my case. Sold my house with condition to continue to rent for next 2 months. All this stated in my SPA. Upon vacant possesion, my lawyer asked my to release keys to my house buyer and then only i can get my balance of purchase price.
But i said i cant release the key now since i will continue to rent the house for next 2 months and will hand the keys once i move out.
I will sign off the vacant possesion to get my balance money and to start treat me as tenant officially which i think should be this way.
But the lawyer said donno need to ask the buyer if ok. Give up with my lawyer.

I want to complain about Chew Chee Har from Kuala Lipis.
http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/legaldirect....php?lid=C/1111
This lawer doesn't know any professional ethics and crossing all possible borders in professional communication. In other words she flirts and has sexual relationships with her clients. Where's the professional ethics of this noble profession like Lawyer? the person who should be on the guard of Law and high moral ethics.. Behaving like prostitute and breaking people's life ...

I really need to file a complaint about this Lawyer from Seri Kembangan. I bought a sub sale unit and signed the S&P on 26 Sept 2014. As it was leasehold property , my lawyers liase with the vendor lawyer to obtain the consent. They sent the documents to the vendor's lawyer and only after 2 FREAKING WEEKS!!! then only the vendor sign the consent to transfer documents. Got the approval for consent on 26.12.2014. My lawyer wrote to the vendor lawyer to obtain the ori title, quit rent and cukai tanah on 5.02.2015. Follow up with the lawyer on many occasions and they didn't reply. Best part Chinese New Year took 2 weeks off without informing anything to my Lawyers. Only got the documents on 6.03.2015 (AFTER 1 MONTH POSTMAN JOB ONLY HAIYO)

AND THE BEST PART.. they give the wrong receipt for the Quit Rent !!! So my bank solicitor cannot do the presentation to the Land Office.

Feel like i want to lodge a report on the Vendor Solicitor next week. Just because your firm 2 lawyers only and cannot handle even the simplest of task, then dont be a freaking lawyer la. Haiyo

This post has been edited by alexwongaa: Aug 9 2016, 08:59 PM

wow, this is serious. lawyer blacklist summary.

i also faced bad service last time, but i let it go

or should i highlight here

mot took me two freaking years

i have checked, we have to send our documents to KL, and the office hardly answer phone.

Seems like because we dont have a good fair disciplinary system for lawyer, that's why all behave so unprofessionally, they know we cant do much.

or anyone have some success case to share?

thanks.

lol success case? any single lawyer worth their salt will tell you the DB / DC are hellbent is slapping you with unwarranted charges.

that's really sad. but what to do - it is malaysia

really cant believe this until i met such a case - lawyer seems can do anything they want, and their job is to ensure there's law, WTF

Seah & Co at Selayang Point - AVOID. Once they think they might lose the case they will abandon their client by discharging themselves but not before you've paid all the fees.

So BEWARE. There are so many legal firms around so DO NOT go to them. However, in malaysia there are very few good firms.

Go to well-known ones like Mah Weng Kwai & Associates. Not really that expensive bcs they have to follow the recommended fee-scale. Such reputable firms will do a good job,not out to fleece your money.

Haha success case? Seems like NOT EVEN 1. This is the reason why lawyers in malaysia are so unprofessional and blatant in breaking the code of ethics. They are the most unethical bunch of law breakers when they are supposed to uphold the law.

Think it's a misconception about lawyers upholding the laws. Their jobs are to work in the best interest for their clients.

lawyers are not allowed to abandon their clients unless

1. client didn't pay their fee
2. client earlier pledged not guilty for the case but later lawyer found out via meeting with client that indeed the client is guilty but client refused to pledge guilty.

You think so? Are you a lawyer?

I believe so.

Nope. I'm not a lawyer.

But surely you can understand that if you engage a lawyer to act for you, his job is to use the laws to your favor? (those sue and sued always feel they are the righteous one). Hence, the notion lawyer is to uphold laws is a misconception.

My lawyer abandoned me simply bcs I wanted to go for trial as the plaintiff refused to accept my offer for settlement which they said was too low but they are overcharging me for their purported losses. Just bcs my lawyer thinks I will lose the case she applied for notice of discharge as per their email yesterday which was so unexpected when her staff (my lawyer employed by her company. The boss is also a lady) had proposed that I sign a sworn statement due to my lack of witnesses and concrete evidence of plaintiff's unethical behaviour :-

"...Despite our earlier two meetings, neither are you able to produce supporting document and/or provide any witness to support your case or to adduce any document and/or to provide any witness to rebut the Plaintiff’s claims, we regret to inform you that we are not able to representing you. Hence, we will file our Notice of Discharge..."

The next case management is on 5/1/2017. Now I have to engage another lawyer or be without representation and open myself to further bullying by the plaintiff. I'm scared of lawyers dy so I will have to speak to the registrar to help me settle this case. I know they will press for what they want which is way above what they should get. On top of that they will force me to sign an undertaking. That was the reason why I made a counterclaim but this useless lawyer is afraid of losing. Say what now?

Kindly read my thread in serious kopitiam. My lawyer did nothing for me yet I spent RM3300 for nothing. feel very heartsick. She doesn't care at all. Only interested in charging.

I am responding to the statement "upholding the law", not on how your lawyer abandoning you.

Since you mentioned that your lawyer abandoned you, doesn't that proved "upholding the laws" is a misconception? ultimately, lawyer will take on cases that are profitable to them (of course, we do have lawyers taking case for altruism reason but these are far few in between)

I agree. Few lawyers uphold the law. Look at our law makers and law enforcers. No need to look further than putrajaya. Everywhere is the same in malaysia - harapkan pagar,pagar makan padi.

I don't understand why she took on my case when I told her from the beginning about my lack of witnesses and concrete evidence like certain photos or video recording. When things happen we are sometimes so stunned we forget to take pictures and video recording cannot be taken where they are not available like in open spaces. I think she did not mean to help right from the beginning. She was hoping I would not go to trial but settle out of court so it would be an easy job and good profits. I don't know the true reasons. If that be the case I could have saved my RM3300 and simply settle with the plaintiff right from the beginning,without having to bother about trampled dignity,being bullied,harassed,humiliated and pushed to the edge!

The situation today is exactly summed up in this poem by playwright Christopher Fry

The human heart can go to the lengths of God.
Dark and cold we may be, but this is no winter now.
The frozen misery of centuries breaks, cracks, begins to move.
The thunder is the thunder of the floes, the thaw, the flood,
the upstart Spring.
Thank God our time is now, when wrong comes up,
to face us everywhere
Never to leave us till we take the longest stride of soul
men ever took.

Affairs are now soul size.
The enterprise is exploration into God.

What are you making for?
It takes so many thousand years to wake.
But will you wake for pity's sake?

Well,this incident leaves me sad and despondent. I will pay whatever they want and move on,having learned the precious lesson that JUSTICE EXISTS FOR JUST A CHOSEN FEW. Justice in the real world does NOT exist for the commoner since the beginning of time. Those who fight for justice for the common man will always suffer losses or even death in the end. From now onward I don't want to have anything to do with lawyers. Very bad experience so very scared of them dy.

I'm sorry for your bad experience. Hope everything turns out well for you. Good luck.

Thank you. I hope so too.

I will lose money. If only this lawyer was brave enuf to go for hearing I'm positive the plaintiff would have to pay me compensation and court costs for what they had done to me. I might have to pay them too but overall I won't lose and my dignity would have been restored by the court. Now I'm afraid to engage another lawyer so I'll just let them win.

Perhaps the registrar could help me reduce their claim by not allowing them to claim what they do not deserve. Thx anyway. I know his job is to move cases along but I hope to move him so he helps me LOL.

I am not a lawyer.

but I know that go for hearing will cost you more money and time, and you might not be able to recover your money. that's why the lawyer prefers to settle out of court.

That I totally agree but they should not have abandoned me after charging so much. At the very beginning I should not have engaged this lawyer and should have just gone to court myself for the first case management and tell the magistrate I want to settle out of court. The lawyer knew very well she would not want to go to court yet still took my case. If she had been altruistic (fat hope LOL. It's human nature to do things to benefit only themselves yet people always talk about win-win) she should have just told me to settle it myself but must go to court to file whatever or they would simply rule in the plaintiff's favour then I will have to pay the court charges as well.

The plaintiff did not make an effort to nego with me. Just kept on demanding by writing,then b4 suing they did send a lawyer's letter of demand. If only I was 100% in the wrong I would have paid them 100% what they demanded but bcs they provoked me no end and also bcs they overcharged by RM5k.

hi all, having issues with legal team. if i file complaint to malaysian bar, do they actually do anything?

Up

I would like to know this as well
It seems the complaint won't be nothing more than complaint rather than full force action..

yeah. complaint if free ok lah. but i think gotta pay RM100 or something. so if they dont do anything. then whats the point.

Bar Council treats all complaints against any lawyer very seriously, once they received a complaint from you, they will write to the lawyer concerned to ask for a very detailed explanation for the incident that you have complained, and a written reply will be given to you within a month on whether further disciplinary action would be instituted by Bar Council against the particular lawyer.

avoidddd KH Wong chin and Cheah. DAmn terrible service and mischievous. Does not honor verbally speaking agreement, u better watch out.

Most lawyers that I met would not like to admit their mistakes. It is key for them to have due diligence and sense of urgency - however i believe from words of mouth we still able to lock down some that are professional and highly capable ones.

i just lodged a complaint with the bar last week and received acknowledgement from them.

will check with them later next mth in the nex yr.

will update all on the progress

Any feedback??

i will also lodge against this firm next week:

KH wong chin cheah
Address: Block C-7-8 (Level 9), Menara Uncang Emas (Ue3), 85, Jalan Loke Yew, 55200, Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, 55200

I just want to know if it is worth it to lodge, and if they can punish them even after they finally finish our case, i still want them to get punished.

Thanks
