Heard a sorry story yesterday, not that we havent heard it all before of course, Young russian woman got involved with an indian guy, turned out to be a nasty guy, her visa expired and she hadnt got enough money to return home so she decided to go to an advocate for advise, not knowing the visa regulations at all she was given a letter from the advocate that basically was worth no more than a piece of toilet paper, saying she had a month extension on her visa, being very gulliable ad stupid thought this was acceptable and paid him Rs18.000 .....

Another sad story - whilst on the subject of advocates might I be so bold as to ask ALL of you from to refrain from using the names of the 2 advocates so often mentioned ?

They may be the main protaganists in all of this, but it is counter productive to continue using their names. Lewis Belworth has a list of the many advocates, C/ACCs, builders etc that have been well paid for their bad advice( presumably all taxes both local and governmental submitted and paid ?) This list will be used in evidence to the goan gov against these people when the day of reckoning comes
The FCO last year sent out a list of local? lawyers to contact for assistance in property matters and for those that didn't see the list there was not one Goan lawyer/advocate mentioned

Thank you

K-C

If i find out who the advocate was i will give his name to Lewis PM....

This is a hard subject - but if people have personal evidence it is up to them
to advise others. (well that is what a lot of us think)although it must be accurate and substantiated.

No one needs to say a word really just google these people and enough sh!t comes up to run a manure factory for a year
GC just google
