Q: A labor case was decided against our company in absentia because the lawyer we hired never appeared in court. Appeal time of 1 month against that decision already lapsed. Now there is a travel ban on the partner. 1. We want to know the remedy we have in law to get the travel ban removed. 2. Is license renewal with partner change possible or not? 3. Can a labor case be reopened? and also can we file a case against that fraudster lawyer?

Q: Hi all, I lost a case because of my lawyer's negligence. I have email evidence. How can I sue them? How do I raise a complaint against them? Will I need a lawyer to put a legal case against them or can I do it myself? I lost money on this case, and every lawyer I speak to never gives a clear answer on the fees. They just say, "Start and we'll see." I can't do that. Thanks!

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I had an accident and was diagnosed with a spine fracture. A lawyer came to me, and I don't know where he got my number from. I needed to give him a power of attorney (POA) while I was on my sick bed, because he said he could not proceed with my case without it. Fast forward, a judgment was passed in my favor, but he never told me. He would never call me, and if I called or texted him for updates, he wouldn't reply. He later went for an appeal without my knowledge. Now, the case has been in execution for the past two months, and he is still refusing to pick up my calls for updates or any information on my case. He has not been transparent or fair with my case. I called their office line today, and the administrator said they have finished with my case, so the lawyer is supposed to do what is expected of him. Please, which are the proper authorities to report this lawyer to? He is really taking advantage of my patience and the POA in his hands.
