The lawyer has done nothing wrong, so there is nothing to report.  Lawyers speaking directly to clients are not governed by Visa Journey terms of service.  Only the law.

So advising someone to commit fraud is "nothing wrong"? Hm. All right. Also wondering if you think I'm an idiot who just suggested they reported the lawyer here on VJ? I mean, really?

My opinion about you personally is not relevant.  I'm going to conclude the "lawyer" did their due diligence and gave proper legal advice after assessing their full circumstances and matching those circumstances with applicable legal precedent.  I do NOT conclude the full circumstances discussed with their lawyer necessarily match exactly the usually "condensed" version of facts disclosed here, or that either you or I are qualified to provide the applicable "legal advice" to this couple.  What I DO know is that many folks adjust status from non-immigrant visas or the Canadian Visitor Privilege DAILY and the VJ has an entire forum dedicated to such discussion.  I'm pretty sure there's a good reason for both those truths.  In fact, I'm absolutely certain of it. :rolleyes:

Your opinion as you stated.  Others are entitled to their opinions.  

You stated that you are not qualified to proved the applicable "legal advice" to this couple but you do not hesitate to conclude that  the lawyer "did their due diligence and gave proper legal advice."   How did you make this conclusion when you're not qualified to provide the applicable "legal advice?"  You're not qualified, but you can make a conclusion that it was proper.  You can't have it both ways.

 

People are free to report their lawyers to the local bar.  Whether it's something the bar will discipline the lawyer for is another matter.  People are entitled to be heard even if they don't succeed in getting the bar to discipline the lawyer.

Actually, I CAN have it both ways, just like the person I responded to can render a legal opinion that is false.  Free to report, is certainly true. Free to make a fool of themselves and waste their time is also true.  I'll hold myself out to be better qualified to judge if the attorney gave good advice than the person I disagreed with.  You are entitled to your opinion as well and to express it.  Opinions vary.  They always have.
