            14/04/2022

            I hired Anthony M****** from Labour Rights Law, a Port Coquitlam-based law firm, to represent me in a case I had filed against my employer. Mr. M***** told me that me that my employer did not want my case to get to the media so we should settle. M****** asked me for copy of my file which I emailed him that evening. He told me that he would call me to have a conference a week prior to our appearing at a ***** ****** ********. A week before our planned appearance, he did not contact me. A day before we were to appear, I contacted him and asked if he would still be representing me. He said yes. At this last minute, he again asked me for a copy of my ***** ****** case. The next day, he was late. The employers lawyer refused to settle. M****** then said he didn’t know what to do. He asked the mediator for help and advice but a mediator is not suppose to help. He then said, ***** * **** ******* * **** **** *** ** ****** ****** He did not. Anthony M****** demanded that I withdraw my case. He even demanded that I don't give impact statement. I demanded that I do. After the defendant’s lawyer offered to pay me $2,000. As soon as he received the money, his charges began. This included charging for 10 minutes for a ten-word email he sent to the defendant’s lawyer. Does it take 10 minutes to type and send a ten-word email? He put in a charge here and a charge there. In one case, he charged me for 1.6 hours in consultation fees, yet the cell record showed we spoke for only 47 minutes. He had my $2,500 as a retainer fee, which was on top of the $2000 the defendant lawyer paid. ******* ******** ***** *** *** * ******** ****** * *********** ** *** ********** ** **** *** ********** I have all his call log showing how often and the total amount of time we spoke. When I told him that I will collect my money, he called law enforcement *** **** **** **** * ******** ** *********** **** The officer came to my work. I told him what happened. ** *** ********

            Labour Rights Law Response

            10/05/2022

            Labour Rights Law (“LRL”) categorically denies the complainant’s allegations above. After signing a retainer agreement setting out precisely how he would be charged for services, and being charged less than half of the estimate in this retainer agreement, the complainant accused one of the LRL lawyers of misrepresentation and made other outrageous allegations (which the Better Business Bureau will not allow us to post due to its policies) and demanded his money back. This complaint was made only after the complainant had agreed to a settlement based on the benefit of LRL’s advice. He would later voluntarily sign a Complaint Withdrawal Form withdrawing his legal matter. After receiving the complainant’s initial complaint about alleged misrepresentation, LRL reviewed his allegations thoroughly and found them to be without merit. LRL provided the complainant with a detailed response and explanation in writing about why LRL found his claims to not be credible, including referring to documentary evidence that contradicted several of his allegations. The complainant then sued LRL. The complainant’s case was dismissed at the trial settlement conference because it did not disclose a triable issue, i.e. it was wholly frivolous and without merit. A matter being dismissed at the trial settlement conference is extraordinary, and, in LRL’s view, demonstrates the baselessness of his allegations. Afterwards, the complainant attempted to get his story published by a media outlet, making more outrageous claims, but the story never ran. The complainant then appealed the dismissal of his case at the trial management conference. He lost his appeal. Shortly afterwards, with his legal options largely exhausted, he then sent the LRL lawyer an email stating that the complainant would collect the money the lawyer stole from him by any means necessary and indicated the lawyer would watch him do it. At this point, LRL had a legal obligation to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of its workers. One of these steps was alerting the police. LRL did not ask the police to visit the complainant at his workplace. LRL simply explained the situation to the police and showed them the complainant’s email. LRL had not heard from the complainant since – until the Better Business Bureau comment.

It was at that time that he went online and showed me that the most I could settle for was $2000.
