S12, I truly try not to respond to your posts, but does it make you feel better to continually bash people? Does it really make you feel better to berate people and throw the less than 80 IQ quotient out there? I guess I can't relate to the obvious satisfaction you're getting out of this. Can you enlighten me please (without insults?)

Good for him.

THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION, HOWEVER MY NEIGHBOR SAW A FEW LAWYERS AND ASKED FOR HELP AND UNFORTUNATELY THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING AGAINST ANOTHER LAWYER (???).

Then he should do it on his own

GREAT IDEA BUT TRY TO WIN THIS KIND OF CASE.

Difficult, but not impossible. However must focus and weigh all the possible outcomes, with cool head.

OK.

OK then.

You are welcome (perhaps you meant "effort"?)

Hi,

Do you know any regulation that states very clearly that an attorney should give a copy of the client's file if the client asks for it? My neighbor hired a lawyer who was supposed to write a motion to venue (transfer the case) and get FOIA information about the immigration history of my neighbor. The attorney neither informed my neighbor that his case was denied and he got a deportation nor he went to the court with him. Now the attorney re-opened the case without my neighbor's knowledge and permission. He refused to give him a copy of the motion that was written to the court. Do you have any idea what to do to obtain this copy?

Thanks a lot.

You need to contact the American Immigration Lawyers Association and ask them. There are no federal, or state statutory requirements, but there are generally accepted business practices in the ABA, AILA, and so forth. However, if the motion was filed wit the court, he/she can obtain the cipy from the court's clerk.

I know that it is a violation of lawyers code of ethics (at least in NY, where you say he is) for attorney to refuse the copy of client's file
(upon demand, after attorney/client relationship is over).
You will need to do a little research to find that particular code.
