Hello, I need to know what can be done. My mom recently filed for divorce and its been over 4 months now and the jerk hasnt done anything. Also he now ignores all phone calls from us.. we need to use a different phone everytime in order to reach him. She got scammed out of $600. What actions should she take? I suggested small claims court.
You could pop into the office without an appointment and catch him offguard. Small claims court is possible too.
problem with the whole office thing.. its still being built and he does it out of his moms house.. Not sure why she picked someone that works out of there mothers house but that isnt for me to decide..
A lawyer would be much more expensive than $600. It sounds like the person could be a para-legal not a lawyer. Paralegals in Ontario must be licensed. Find out if he is a lawyer, a paralegal or just "some guy". You probably have to to after him thru small claims but if he is a licensed lawyer or paralegal you could go after him thru the law society. Note that Small Claims Court does not actually get you the money right away - just a legal judgement against someone.
Double checked with my mom and he is a paralegal not a lawyer. do you know of any places in ontario i can contact?
