I’m in a real bind. I filed a case against a shopkeeper in consumer court, but my lawyer took ₹2 lakhs from me and hasn’t delivered any results. Now he’s not even returning my calls. What can I do? I’m desperate for help!

You can file a complaint against your lawyer with the Bar Council of India for professional misconduct. You can also seek a refund of the fees paid through a separate legal action. Additionally, it’s advisable to consult a new lawyer immediately to discuss your case and next steps.
