The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness regarding the presence of fake lawyers with simple tools in multiple languages. The campaign also includes a simple process to verify if an individual assisting with a person\u2019s immigration process is qualified to do so. In cases where they are not, an easy-to-use form to report a fake lawyer can be found on the Barreau de Montr\u00e9al website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor anyone leaving their country to settle here, it is essential to have the right support. The <em>M\u00e9fiez-vous<\/em> campaign offers resources to help those going through the immigration process to place their trust in the right people,\u201d said Me David Ettedgui, Batonnier of the Barreau de Montr\u00e9al. \u201cEntrusting your immigration file to a fake lawyer can have major consequences on your settlement process in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Barreau de Montr\u00e9al is working in collaboration with community groups and governmental organizations that work closely with victims of illegal practices by fake lawyers. These essential partners in the campaign are well placed to communicate vital information to individuals who are at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Barreau\u2019s mission is to protect the public,\u201d said Me Ettedgui. \u201cRaising awareness about the existence of illegal practice enables people to easily locate legitimate lawyers and provide the right resources that help prevent illegal practice and better protect those at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2018 and 2023, the share of reported complaints the Barreau de Montr\u00e9al received regarding immigration rose from 13% to 39%, which is likely only the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dedicated web site<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional information and resources related to the <em>M\u00e9fiez-vous<\/em> campaign can be found on our website or by visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fauxavocat.ca\" class=\"ek-link\">fauxavocat.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.barreaudemontreal.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/fauxavocats-bannanime-en.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35702\" style=\"object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Barreau de Montr\u00e9al<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Barreau de Montr\u00e9al was founded in 1849 and today brings together close to 17,000 lawyers in Greater Montreal.
