RZCD Law Firm LLP I was bullied into to accepting services i was not satisfied with. The company would not agree to pay me back 50% of the fees i paid to them. Mississauga, Ontario
I had contracted the services of Law Firm early in 2010. I asked them to check up on a company for me that I had invested my with and became a shareholder of that company with common shares.
I had explained the company never showed me income statements or any other statements for that matter. This was going on for years. We asked the firm to look into the matter to see if we could recoup some money, and to see what was really going on with the company and the way they were doing business, and what they had actually done with our money.
The attorney that handled our case from the Law Firm agreed to assist, he told us what we had to pay to get going, and said they would commence as soon as they got the money. Every thing ran smoothly in the beginning, up until the money was paid, no doubt.
After The money was paid to the Law Firm, information was so slow in coming, updates were slow, communication had broken down, it was hard for me to contact the attorney and get updates as to how the case was going, and if there was any progress made.The attorneys secretary was rude to say the least, she would always cover for the attorney and say he was not there when he really was there.Once I gave her my name she would put me on hold then give me an excuse.
After some time I finally started to receive some info, he had done a search, and found the company I was a part of had gone bankrupt, he confirmed that with the bank that had loaned the company money.
It is known that this information can be found by going to the correct government agency in Ontario, filling out a firm, and receiving the info on the spot.
This is the extent of the info that I received.I had asked the attorney to go over the books to check and see if there was anything weird with the numbers, and if they were moving the profits to another company secretly over all these years.The attorney never found this out for me. Although this was asked in the beginning.How could a proper case against the main shareholders of this company be made for cooking the books, when the books were never analyzed.I did not only ask the Firm to find out if the company was bankrupt. I asked them to see if i could recoup any money due to illegal activities from the main shareholders that were running the company i had bought into.
When everwould ask about checking the books, the attorney would never give me an answer.
All I wanted in the end from the Law Firm was to have 50% of my money returned to me, as I was not satisfied with their services to me.
I advised that the money they returned to me would help me start with another Law Firm, to help me in my quest to recoup some of my lost money from the business i got involved in.
The law firm advised they would check over the statements to see what they could do in terms of returning some funds.Weeks went by, I had to beg for a reply, to which they responded that no money would be returned to me for the services they had given to me.
I continued to push the envelope with them, contacting other partners within the Law firm, explaining the situation.
They finally said they would not reply to me any longer.
Here I am, I have filled a complaint with BBB Canada, and now rip off report.I warned them I would do this, however they did not care, or wish to return half of my money.
I had no choice but to go this route. Let it be know I do not wish to bring down any business in a ,malicious manner what so ever.
I am reasonable and fair.I just want the public to know my story.I have all emails saved, between myself, and the Law Firm. Too bad I don't have recorded conversation between myself and their secretary.

I also have had a bad experience with this firm. They were engaged in a collaberative family law matter for me. My lawyer contributed little, let my ex's lawyer draft documents, billed almost three times their fee estimate and provided no updates that they were way off track and even after complaining to the managing partner wouldn't adjust the bill, only threaten to sue me if I didn't pay. Meanwhile my ex's lawyer contributed more, did the drafting work and was right on their fee estimate.
Stay away from this firm.
