This attorney is a complete moron. He solicited my business which is located in the US to collect debt on our behalf, We gave him a file to collect on in Canada which is where he is located. The deal was contingent on his success of collecting the funds owed, I believe it was 25% maybe more, anyway he goes to court and gets a default judgment, the other party never showed up. He never collected anything, as soon as he obtained the judgment he wants his percentage. I told him that was not the deal, we never agreed to that, he has to collect the money. You can't take a % of nothing! In addition he never provided anything to us that we could use to further collect our monies in fact as far as I know he may have pursued it later and pocketed our funds. In other words he never delivered!
The next thing I knew he went to court without me even knowing and obtained a judgment in Canada against my company for his cut. Since I was not present I have no idea how presented his case, but it was obviously one sided. This was back around the year 2000. We of coarse never paid anything, now out of the blue he sends a garnishment letter to one of our Canadian customers, which has nothing to do with any of this. I find this to be tortes interference with our customers relationship and we may file a claim with the Bar or perhaps take legal action to teach this idiot a lesson.
He has never tried to make it right and actually collect the money from our debtor and therefore be entitled to what he is seeking. Or if he has he never gave us the money..which is certainly a good possibility.
To sum this up in another way we hired this guy on a contingency basis to collect a debt for us, he fails to do that and instead he is trying to collect money from us.
Do Not give any business to this charlatan... you'll be sorry!
