A Lawyer was Engaged to Remove a Garnishee on an Account. % Was agreed on to be Given to the Lawyer Once he Successful with it. The Lawyer Was Told to Provide some Funds so his Clients who has nothing on him for his Upkeeps till the Garnishie is Removed and He has Access to His Funds. The Lawyer Could only Provide 1% or the Funds Requested for by the Client for his Upkeeps . Since the Client Funds was Still on Garnishie he couldn't have Access to the Funds in his Account,No Funds at all . So the Client and the Lawyer Agreed that Once Restrictions is Removed and Client has Access to His Funds ,Lawyer would gets Back the Funds he Provides and also have a Certain % of Clients Funds in his Account.. Lawyer Travelled to another State where the Case is ,Lodge in an Hotel ,Shouldered the Expenses as Agreed with the Client. Lawyer later Discovered that Client was Ignorant that The Garnishee have been already Vacated on his Account by the Former Lawyer He used . Lawyer Discovered that it was Vacated 3 Months Earlier before he Engaged Him . He Got the CTC from the Court .On Arrival He told His Client that He has Vacated the Garnishie on his Account and told Client he is free to Contact His Bank to Withdraw Funds . When Client Went through CTC he discovered the Garnishie have been Vacated 3 Months Earlier before he Engaged the new Lawyer ,His name didn't Appear among the Lawyers that Got the Judgements . He was Confronted for lying and Making demands of work he didn't do ,He Later Abandoned Asking for % and Service Fee. Lawyer Opened email on Clients Name to contact His Bank Demanding for his Account Balance without Account Owner Awareness. Bank Responded with Available Balance while Main Balance which has been Moved to Sundry,Ledger wasn't Revealed . Lawyer Felts He was Lied to that Clients has no Funds in His Account why did he Engaged him in the first Place to Remove Garnishee from an Account with Very Little Balance . Lawyer Again Assumes Account Owner have Started accessing funds in Account which was Capital No. THE REAL MATTER NOW IS THAT THE LAWYER REPORTED THE MATTER TO THE POLICE, POLICE SOUGHT FOR COURT ORDER WHICH WAS USED IN PLACING PND , RESTRICTIONS ON CLIENTS ACCOUNT. When Now it's Obvious that Clients Told the Truth to POLICE That Lawyer isn't the one that Vacate the GARNISHIE And Obviously he doesn't Deserve the Pay for that ,Moreso Client Hasn't Been able to Access Funds in His Account the main Purpose he Engaged the Lawyer to Ensure . LAWYER NOW IS REQUESTING FOR EXPENSES COST HE INCURRED WHEN HE TRAVEL TO THE STATE LOCATION ...(Hotel Accommodation,TFare ,Feeding ) Client says He can Only Pay the Expenses only when The Bank Releases Funds from his Account. WHAT ADVISE CAN YOU GIVE . POLICE IS PUTTING SO MUCH PRESSURES ON TNE CLIENT TO PAY . |

Akir2025:The agreement is explicit to the effect that the said lawyer will be paid once the garnishee order and PND is removed via direct litigation by said lawyer. Lawyer withheld the truth to his client concerning the vacation of the PND by previous legal representatives. Lawyer does not deserve to be paid a dime because the agreement explicitly spelt that he will be paid for legal services relating to removal of PND on the client's account. Why should the client then pay for services the lawyer did not provide? If the lawyer was honest with his client which is what he is legally and ethically expected to, an agreement for payment for expenses incurred and a nominal legal fee would have sufficed but the lawyer was great and wanted to reap where he did not sow. Lawyers are obligated to provide full disclosure to their client and not withhold vital information that arises during a legal dispute. The client should take it up a notch and lodge a formal complaint to both the NBA and file a counter suit against the lawyer for deceptive representation. |

Imalwayshorny:Does the Lawyer has Right to Demands for Account balance from the Clients Account By forging an Email in the Clients Name without the Consent of the Account owner ..Even when the Account owner requested for the Email Password he says No |
| Re: Lawyers In The House ... by FSBoperator: 4:44pm On Sep 24 |
Imalwayshorny:No. But I have enough experience from dealing with senseless people here in Nigeria through the legal system to get an apprenticed hard knock experience on legal issues. |

Akir2025:This is hacking and contravenes current cyber terrorism laws. Also false representation and abuse of attorney privelages. Now this warrants a criminal petition to the relevant authorities. Petition the Police and EFCC over this conduct and breach of attorney - client privelages. |

Akir2025:He should write to the email provider notifying them of a breach on his email account. He should establish from the email provider that the account in question is his and reclaim it asap. He should then get details of login details from the account setting to establish that the crooked lawyer had access to his email without his consent and took complete control of it. In the interim, he should go to his bank and change the registered email in question to another one and also get confirmed receipts from the bank of the lawyer requesting for account details while logged in on his account The ISP and device the lawyer used to log into the account is enough evidence to prove a breach of a digital asset aka hacking . The sanction for this alone is 2ys imprisonment. |

I see no issue here except the account owner is highly ignoramus. To settle the matter, the account owner should pay the lawyer the expenses he use to obtain CTC of the court judgement. If he didn't engage the lawyer the account owner will be living in denial. So the new lawyer tried his best to unfold the circumstances WHICH lead to knowing true [position of his account I don't think the lawyer is greedy, he has agreed to accept the expenses for obtaining CTC This account over is an ignoramus nay be because his ignorance that his first lawyer left |

galantjoe:Ignoramus .What a Word .The Account owner is not saying he won't Give Lawyer the Expenses but the Lawyer is Putting Pressures on the Account owner by using the Police to force him Pay for Expenses within a Specific Period . I think Police are not Recovery Agent and cannot be used to force anyone to Pay a debt or things if such . Remember Account owner only means of Paying any thing to the Lawyer is only when he has Access to the funds in the same Account which he hasn't .It was stated in the Agreement. .Access to Funds .That is the Primary Work .Under normal Circumstances, Lawyer shouldn't expect Account owner to starts Looking for funds to Pay for Expenses elsewhere. Account owner didn't Engage Lawyer to Pay for Expenses but Services which he didn't Rendered. Moreso He breached Contracts ,He didn't Achieve Account owner to have Access to his Funds in his Account .Rather he even made things Worst by acting on Assumption that he already have Access to funds. But Account owner doesn't have Access to funds yet ..He Gave False information to the Police and they Sought for court order to place PND on the Account again ... It was Later discovered that the PND on the Account wasn't done only by the bank but the Government Regulatory Agency was involved and needs some Clearance but the Lawyer didn't get to this Extent maybe he is Inexperienced on this Aspect .So In a nutshell ,The Lawyer now just wanted Expenses paid at all cost without showing no Intrest in Ensuring the PND he even Initiated is removed . Account owner has engaged a more Professional Consultant now who is making all round Consultations with all Government Agencies including the CBN , Government Security Agencies to Ensure the matter is Finally Solved , But The Lawyer maybe it's ignorant that is disturbing,It's funny just wanted his Expenses within a Period but Account owner told him to Be Patient once he has Access to Funds ,He gives him the Expenses |

You're fixated that the lawyer is at fault and the account owner is right. This is a very wrong mindset - close mindset. When you seek public opinion on any matter, allow the public to air their views so that you will learn where you err and be able to correct it. But here you re tackling every person who airs his or her view when it is against your fixated guiltless view. You re not paying any of us who give u professional advice on how to tackle this matter yet you are bamboozling us, with verbosity. Please go to hell with your ignoramus incrimination Akir2025: |

galantjoe:. Ignoramus Thanks .But you are Absolutely Wrong in Your Closed Mindset as you Accused me.I Shed More Light on the Matter not Been Fixated about Lawyers Claim of Expenses.Read well ,The Account owner is willing to Pay the Expenses ,He never said No .,Open your Inner Understanding .There are Reasonable Public Commentators that did so without Been Insultive....Should I Take your Insults because You wants to Air your Views? Must Your View ,Comment Come with Insults ..You should be the One to Go to Hell Not Me .. However I already Learn and Know from the Reasonable ones . You are Ignored .. |

I carefully Read this Matter . Let us not be Bias , Sentiment or take Sides . .I no be Lawyer. Let not say I'm a Lawyer I must Defend my Learned Colleague or say I'm not a Lawyer I must defend the Account owner No. First I want to Blame the Account owner He was Ignorant that there was no Garnishie on His Account again , If he had known he wouldn't have Engaged a New Lawyer. If the Lawyer didn't Traveled to find out the Truth ,The Account owner will still be in the Dark and Ignorant . The Account owner Should Pay the Lawyer the Expenses incured because travelling ,Hotel Accompany,TFare ,Feeding should have been taking of by the Lawyer out of the Service Charge ,% As Agreed by the Account Owner . But since the Job have already been done before ,Let the truth be told on this The Lawyer cannot Just Loose like that ,The Expenses should be Paid and I see that the Account owner is not Saying he won't Pay But He is Saying not until He has Access to funds in hi Account which was Part of the Agreement. Further on this : The New Lawyer He engaged on Discovery that the Service he was given have been Done Before as shown on the CTC ,He Supposed to Inform His Client ,Rather he Lied he was the one that did it ,It was Account owner that Discovered the Truth By Himself immediately he saw the CTC Copy .New Lawyer name wasn't among the Defendants. According to the Content of the Message by the OP. After Lawyer lied he removed the Garnishie ,He Depends on this LIES to Lay claim for %, Service Charge he was Promised by the Account Owner . Lawyer base on the fact that there is no Garnishie anymore ,He Assumes Client Account is Opened and he must have been Accessing funds,this Assumption is Wrong ,He has no Business with this even if the Account is Opened but there seems to be another Restriction on Clients Account by the Regulatory Authority ( NFIU CBN) .Which is Unknown to the New Lawyer. The Lawyer shouldn't have based his action in Assumption. The Lawyer shouldn't have Opened email in Clients name ,that is Impersonation ,He should have just introduced himself as the Clients Lawyer to the bank simple . He should have given the Client the email password when he demands for it . THE POLICE SHOULDN'T HAVE SOUGHT FOR COURT ORDER TO PLACE ANOTHER PND ON THE CLIENTS ACCOUNT BASED ON LAWYER WRONG ASSUMPTION. SINCE THE LAWYER THAT REPORTED THE CASE IS NOT THE ONE THAT VACATED THE GARNISHIE WHY IS THE LAWYER TRYING TO CLAIM % FOR REMOVING IT ? THE LAWYER HAS NO RIGHT TO FORCE THE CLIENT TO PAY HIS EXPENSES WITHIN A SPECIFIC PERIOD SINCE THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT THAT HE WOULD PAY THE LAWYER ANY MONEY ONLY WHEN HIS ACCOUNT IS OPENED AND HE HAS ACCESS TO FUNDS . CLIENT HAVEN'T HAVE ACCESS TO FUNDS ,WHERE DOES HE EXPECT CLIENT TO PAY FOR EXPENSES POLICE IS NOT RECOVERY AGENTS ,WHY POLICE IS BEING USED TO FORCE THE CLIENT. THIS IS TYPICALLY A COMPLETE CIVIL MATTER. LAWYER SHOULD EXERCISE PATIENT TILL CLIENT HAVE ACCESS TO FUNDS . SIMPLE. THE LAWYERSL SHOULD EXERCISE LOTS OF PATIENT ,SETTLE IT AMICABLY IF THE LAWYER CONTINUES TO USE THE POLICE TO FORCE THE ACCOUNT OWNER , I THINK HE SHOULD ESCALATE THIS MATTER TO THE OFFICE OF THE IG AND MENTION THE IPO INCHARGE , WRITE A PETITION ALSO THE ACCOUNT OWNER SHOULD GET ANOTHER LAWYER INCASE THE MATTER WOULD BE CHARGED TO COURT . |

I think since the Account owner has Agreed to Give the Lawyer the Expenses .He Should Be Very very Patient till the Account owner Have Access to His Funds .He can only Make Troubles if the Account owner have Started having Access to his Funds with Proves and the Account owners refuses to Pay But from the on looks of these Matter I don't think the Account owner have started Accusing his Funds . If truly the Lawyer is Working with the Police to Put pressures on the Account owner to Pay The Expenses withing a Specific Period I think the IPO Should be Reported to a Higher Police Command because Police is not a Funds Recovery Agent. The Account owner has a better Chances to even Win this Case if it's Eventually Charged to Court . An agreement that any Funds would be Paid Only when restrictions is removed and he has Funds to his Account . 1: Forging of emails with Account owners name 2: Lying that he is the one that removes the Garnishie 3:Having a Wrong Assumption that Account owner have Access to his Funds and Lying to the Police to make them Get a Court order to Place PND further on His Account.If the lawyer has a Prove to show that Account owner have Started Having Access he should Bring it Out Op if you know the Account owner DM me the IPO Must be Reported to a Higher Police Command . Police is not Funds Recovery . It's a Civil matter ,This isn't even like an intended debt self . |
