THE SELANGOR BAR
IMPOSTERS (BOGUS LAWYERS) AT THE BAR
SBC/CIR/035/12
12th June, 2012
Dear Members of the Bar,
IMPOSTERS (BOGUS LAWYERS) AT THE BAR
On 31st May 2012,we received a police report.The Police report was lodged by a Malay lady at the Klang Police Station. She alleged that she had paid RM3,000.00 to a lawyer to attend her son's case but subsequently when the case came up for mention, the lawyer did not turn-up. Upon making inquiries,she found out that the so-called person was not a lawyer at all, he was actually impersonating as a lawyer. This is the second time we have received such a complaint against this individual who is apparently approaching and cheating clients at the Klang Magistrates Courts.
We have even received a written complaint from the Attorney General's Chambers in Putrajaya that there is also an individual in Petaling Jaya impersonating as a lawyer, claiming to be an ex-session court judge and also an ex-senior federal counsel,practising with a firm in Petaling Jaya. Upon their investigation,that so called individual does not have a practising certificate. We have even managed to obtain his name card which surprisingly uses an existing firm's address.
We view the above matter seriously as it affects the integrity and dignity of the Bar.We have immediately written to the Chief Police Officer of Selangor,to immediately take the necessary action and arrest those individuals impersonating as lawyers.
We would like our members to be alert. If you have any information,regarding the above,kindly contact Selangor Bar,to enable us to liaise with the Police.
Kindly take note.
