Retainer issued by Saron Gebresellassi found to be non-compliant with standards for lawyers in the province
The lawyer representing a Prince George nightclub in a battle over COVID-era tickets was ordered this past September to pay a former client $15,000 for failing to provide a retainer agreement that complied with regulations governing conduct of the legal profession in Ontario.
In turn, the new counsel sought a copy of the respondent’s account for services rendered. It took seven months for Gebresellassi to provide a copy and dockets supporting a claim for $51,748.35, were not provided. A third adjournment followed when Gebresellassi advised that there was a widespread internet outage in British Columbia, where she was, and she could not access the electronic file for the motion.
