The Barbados Bar Association is urging the public to exercise caution and ensure that anyone from whom they seek legal services is duly admitted to the Bar and possesses a valid practising certificate.
The warning came from the Association’s President, Larry Smith, K.C.
He was addressing the media during a news conference this morning at the Association’s office at Perry Gap, St Michael, convened to discuss the Association’s decision to publish a public notice in the newspaper.
The notice stated that Winston Clarke and Quincy Jones were not entered on the roll of Attorneys-at-Law in Barbados and were not authorised to provide legal services.
Mr Smith said that over the past several weeks, the Association has received a number of complaints relating to individuals holding themselves out as attorneys-at-law, or otherwise providing what may be considered legal services, without holding a valid practising certificate.
He added that one of the aims and objectives of the Association is to establish and maintain a system of prompt and efficient legal advice and legal aid for persons in need.
