Be vigilant!

Fake lawyers on the web and social networks

Some non-lawyers do not hesitate to use the name and identity of lawyers on the Roll of the Order to deceive people seeking legal services and to fraudulently extort money from them.

These fake lawyers set up websites that look realistic and credible, often use social networks, and their messages are convincing. You have to be vigilant not to fall prey to these fraudsters. Use the Find a lawyer tool on the homepage of the Barreau’s website to obtain the lawyer’s telephone number and professional email address. The professional contact details published in the Find a lawyer tool are completely reliable and are the ones you should use to contact a lawyer. If in doubt, do not hesitate to call the person at the number next to their name in Find a lawyer to make sure that you are not dealing with an impersonator.

Fake lawyers reported to the Barreau du Québec

The following lists contain fake lawyers with a Quebec address and bogus lawyer websites that have been reported to the Barreau du Québec. These lists are not exhaustive; they contain only the names of websites and fake lawyers that have been reported to the Barreau du Québec or for which the Barreau has received complaints, as well as website owners and fake lawyers who have refused to cooperate with the Barreau du Québec. Some bogus lawyer websites or fake lawyers are not included on these lists because they have not yet been brought to the Barreau’s attention or because their name has been changed.

Please note that the Bar of Montréal also publishes lists of fake lawyers with a Quebec address and fake lawyers reported to the Bar of Montréal.
