The purpose of this article is to give the reader some insight into why people should use a qualified immigration lawyer when applying for immigration to Canada. Further detailed information can be obtained by contacting Marvin Moses Law Office. Firstly, lawyers in Ontario are governed by the Law Society of Upper Canada, and must follow strict rules of conduct as set out by the Society. Lawyers who breach these rules and act unethically face disciplinary action from the Society. For example, lawyers must put client money into a trust account, and can only take the money once the lawyer has done the work and issued an account for services rendered. This rule safeguards the client’s money and insures that the money is not misappropriated for improper reason. When a lawyer breaches these rules of conduct, the client can make a formal complaint to the Society and an investigation may follow. A licensed consultant also has to follow rules of conduct as set out by its regulatory body, however, rules of conduct for a consultant are not extensive nor rigorous to cover every facet of its practice. For this reason, if a consultant breached these same rules of conduct, there may be no inexpensive recourse, costly civil litigation may be the only recourse.
