Hi Experts,
My dad is fighting fraud case done by a local bank.
In this matter, we had appointed a lawyer from Bombay High Court. In the initial stage the lawyer was acting very professional but from last 6-7 months he started showing a neglience attitude toward us.
He failed to stand infront of the judge during argument stage due to which the case got dismissed. Later on he defend himself by saying that the judges were too strict due to which he was not in a position to take risk during such a critical day.
I dont understand how to deal with this situation. Please help me so that i can make him understand the value of his role in society.
thanks

Go through the Rules framed by the Bar Council of India and the judgments of the Bar council of India.

I have also similar opinion that such lawyer who fears to face the courts is not competent and you correct your mistake by changing him by a competent lawyer.

Demand refund of your professional fee paid to him except some genuine charges as he himself admits that he cannot face the court. If he refuses then you have also the option to make complaint before Bar Council of that area.
