rocketboybkk Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 How would you prove it? It's hearsay Thin ground I'd say but probably not illegal to say it but might be to provide a service unqualified Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merylhighground Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Ask a Lawyer..... Given the number of fake 'Lawyers' to be found in Thailand, especially Pattaya, I wouldn't have thought so...... Edited May 5, 2016 by Merylhighground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZBill Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 As a lawyer licensed in the U.S. who has had clients in Thailand and throughout Asia, I can tell you there are quite a few bad apples representing themselves as U.S. lawyers. Especially in the immigration area. Ask which bar they belong to then either search their name in the directory of the state bar site or call and ask. Thailand has become a dumping ground for disbarred US lawyers and some who never attended law school at all but represent themselves as lawyers. Be careful.

cyberfarang Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Anyone is allowed to represent anyone else in a civil case. Providing that person who is not a real lawyer doesn`t claim to be lawyer in writing or on any paperwork they are not breaking any laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
