[Resolved]  Advocate Apollo Moghe — Unprofessional advice, lacks basic subject knowledge

Address: Goregaon, Mumbai

I wish to file a complaint against Advocate Apollo Moghe, who was consulted by my housing society regarding the transfer of my late father’s share.

The advice provided by the said advocate was incorrect and misleading, as a result of which my legitimate share transfer has been stalled for over two years.

After carefully studying the applicable provisions and with proper references, I was able to prove that his advice was wrong on almost every point (except one or two points).

When I raised my doubts and messaged him regarding his legal opinion, he did not respond instead asked me to contact another member of my society. Later, when I called him for clarification, he did not answer my calls.

Such behaviour is highly unprofessional and unbecoming of an advocate, since my society's committee was entitled to receive accurate and correct guidance.

Because of his negligence and lack of responsibility, I have suffered unnecessary delay and mental stress. I request that appropriate action be taken against him for:

1. Giving incorrect and misleading advice,

2. Failing to respond to client queries, and

3. Causing undue delay in a genuine legal matter.

I sincerely request you to look into this matter and initiate disciplinary proceedings as deemed fit. If required, I shall raise the issue with the Bar Council of India soon.
