Soumya Roop Sanyal - Proof of the dishonesty

The Annex

My right to access to justice has been violated by this lawyer, because he refuses to even listen…read moreto my problem. he li8tereally says that he "feels" that this is something he can't do, and yet he has "felt" that without even being aware of what the problem is that I am bringing to him. Since I have the right to justice, and the right to access to justice, which are both guaranteed by the charter of human rights as outlined in the constitution of Canada (1982), I "feel" that his refusal to hear me out before refusing to help me, is a violation of that right. The law society allows half an hour of free consultation in order to discuss your problem with the lawyer, and my half hour was used up entirely by arguing with him about whether he will even listen to my problem or not. Yet since the constitution guarantees access to justice, and equal access to justice, it rather suggests that when necessary any lawyer is obligated to go beyond that half hour when necessary in order to fulfill that right to access to justice. Failure to do is a clear and direct violation of that right to access to justice.

If you're considering hiring this lawyer, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere…read more My experience with Soumya Roop Sanyal was extremely disappointing. I retained him for a child-protection matter and trusted him with very serious evidence. He refused to use critical evidence, missed important deadlines, and allowed the opposing side to take the lead on a case that was straightforward and supported by police, CAS, school, and medical records. When I questioned the bill, things got worse. He billed 35.2 hours of "emails and communication", even though he routinely didn't read or understand the information I sent him. His own retainer agreement discourages email use, yet he tried to charge thousands for it. The numbers made no sense, and there was no record of my retainer being applied. When I asked for the trust ledger (which every lawyer is required to provide), he refused. Instead of explaining the bill, he issued an even larger one. He then told the opposing lawyer that I was self-represented before new counsel was on the record, which caused unnecessary issues in an already sensitive case. After reviewing everything, I discovered I had actually overpaid by $3,985.35, and he refused to refund it. Because of all of this, I had no choice but to file a complaint with the Law Society of Ontario. This was not a professional experience. Watch the billing carefully, get all trust-accounting records in writing, and don't assume anything is being done properly behind the scenes.
