Client Number CLT1647429 requests a review of a decision made by the Director General at GTA District Office on June 20, 2023. The client, Dallas Savoie, believes they have not received fair representation from their lawyer. Specifically, the lawyer has not shown up to court, been late, and attempted to schedule a guilty plea for a meeting that was supposed to be a resolution meeting. As a Canadian citizen and ex-military, the client feels they deserve better representation than one who does not properly do their job or treat legal aid clients with the same standard as privately paid clients.

Case Number: 0869. I, Dallas Savoie, wish to request a review of the decision of the Director General at GTA District Office District made on 20 June, 2023 .
The reasons for my request for review are;
It isn’t dissastisfaction with the lawyer. I believe as a Canadian Citizen I have the right to be represented fairly. This lawyer has not shown up to court, been late, has attempted to schedule a guilty plea when it was supposed to be a resolution meeting. I’m ex-military, a Canadian Citizen and I’m disgusted with this representation. How is legal aid ok paying for lawyers that don’t show up to do their jobs and leave clients until the last minute? not remembering or writing down any information, to then hold over a matter for months for no other reason than her not treating a legal aid certificate to the same standard as someone born into a rich family. I guess I should have been a lawyer and just not shown up for clients….there is no consequence from what this office has shown.
I deserve better and so does anyone else relying on legal aid.
