Verhaeghe Law Office

I hired Tim Verhaeghe with Verhaeghe Law Office to deal with my divorce. I gave him a $5000.00 retainer. The first thing he was asked to do is appear in Provincial Court with me after I was served by my ex. He agreed to do this and more on the file. A few days before the court date he informed me that he would not be able to attend and he was sending another lawyer to attend with me. The lawyer that showed up was not informed about the contents of the file. I then contacted Tim and he would not return my calls. He then sent me an email stating he was quitting my file. He refunded me only $200 out of the $5000 even though he did not do what he promised on the file. This type of conduct makes a person feel like going to the media because it’s more than wrong to do this to anyone especially when people are already going through a difficult time in their life. I spoke with other lawyers and they said $5000 is too much for what Tim provided before he quit.
