Me Yu is extremely busy and every second is precious for him. I have had the chance to consult him for a small matter and I stayed in his office for about two hours. (Of course, I paid the consultation fee.) I noticed that among these two hours, Me Yu got at least 5 calls. Each of the call lasted approximatively 5 minutes. It means that in average, he has to sacrifice 1/4 of his day answering calls. Plus, he answered each call patiently by explaning every detail concerning the problems. Personally, I think that it is very generous of him to be willing to take these calls and to answer them.
Furthermore, my friends, DO keep in mind that we are not in a communist society anymore. Nothing is free here. People have to earn money all by themselves. Me Yu is not an employee of the canadian governement. His office is NOT "the Chinese community's consulting center". And believe me, if you ask anyone in this country about lawyer fees, they'd tell you that not only it costs, it also is the double of what Me Yu was asking for the two girls' case.
People who think that lawyers shouldn't charge for consultation should understand that in a CAPITALIST society, everyone works for himself. Time is measured by money. If you are taking someone's time, you would have to pay for it. |
