I am new to this forum. I want to change my lawyer for CCL case. The Immigration officer took my passport on my way back to london and I have appealed through a lawyer. But the lawyer is asking money all the time. Is there any way I can handle my own case. Please suggest. Thanks
seems like u have hired the services of pay as you go solicitors normally such solicitors charge you on every service even every correspondence u recieve from them, you should have hired a solicitor with fixed fee which is in this case from 1000-1500 pounds depending on the repute of solicitors and in this fix fee most of them will even give you the services if you have to go as far as high court although high court fee of 400 pounds will b payable by u. so now if you are looking for solicitor better arrange a fixed fee service and have a letter of payment recieved so that he wont blackmail you in the future although good solicitors never act that stupid but some dodgy ones do.hope it helps !
