What should I do if I get scammed by a lawyer?

If a lawyer discovers that he has been deceived, call the police directly and the police will help you deal with it.

If the cumulative amount of fraud exceeds 2,000 yuan, criminal liability for fraud can be pursued, and the case can be filed. However, if the amount is between 3,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan, which is relatively large, criminal liability will be pursued. If the amount is less than 2,000, you may be subject to public security penalties. If the lawyer does violate the rules, there are three ways to protect his rights: first, he can go to the lawyer's law firm with the agreement signed by both parties and find the person in charge to negotiate and deal with it; second, he can complain to the lawyer's municipal lawyer association; third, he can file a complaint with the judicial department Report to the Bureau’s Legal Affairs Office.

Legal basis

If this law provides otherwise, such provisions shall prevail.
