Client
(Edit) IF this is the same lawyer formerly from G***r in BC, then a HARD-NO! I went in for a consultation. I was looking to hire them/him for a pretty rough case against me that I had many witnesses, and proof for. He said to tell him everything. I was panicked and excitably- upset. He verbally berated my concerns. The police were ready to hang me out to dry without ever taking my statement, and weren't willing to listen to my side. At all. He told me (paraphrasing) that none of that mattered. If they're accusing me, then I MUST have done something. My (then) wife walked out. I soon followed. I LITERALLY gave all the necessary information to the detective, and witnesses to interview. Basically did my own defense. The detective agreed with me and dropped the case 3 weeks later.
