Mr. John Y.C. Lee was most uncivil and unprofessional in his conduct throughout the entire Double Closing process with my family in 2013. There was definite physical contact made by Mr. Lee in his brash attempt to shove my brother and I out of his office. This was in spite of my parents' specific wishes for us to remain in the office to act as emotional support and to help them with the making of decisions. After having successfully kicked us out of his office instead of fulfilling his role as a lawyer hired to help us make sense of legal issues, Mr. Lee slammed the door in our faces.
Also, Mr. Lee did not act in the best interest of his clients because not once did he ask for our input or voluntarily update us with the status of our ongoing transactions. He leaves his clients out in the lobby for hours confused about what is going on with their properties.
In our situation, hiring him cost us another $700.00 we had to pay our moving company due to his incompetency as a lawyer. We had no clue when the deal for our old house would be completed so we could move into our new home. He made us feel threatened in saying the other party would sue us - clearly he gives in to the other side's lawyer(s) and has no back bone of his own.
This is the worst experience I've ever had with a lawyer and I've since lodged a complaint with the Law Society of Upper Canada. This is a man who takes advantage of recent immigrants who aren't as proficient in English - this allows him to conduct his "business" unethically without their knowing. read more
