Simply put Doucet is a crook. He charged my ailing parents over $80,000 for my sisters divorce. Do a search and find the following: TIMMINS - A Timmins lawyer has been publicly rebuked for overcharging clients who had collectively paid out more than $131,000 in legal fees. According to an agreed statement of facts, Peter Doucet “voluntarily reimbursed” most or all of the fees to the individual clients, refunding a sum total of about $124,000. On Monday in Toronto, Doucet appeared before a panel of the Law Society of Upper Canada – the governing body for lawyers in Ontario to answer to claims made against him concerning charges of overbilling. The panel determined that in 2002 and in 2008 there were four instances in which Doucet “billed clients of modest means, fees which were disproportionate to the value of the work performed.” The clients, who came to Doucet with matters dealing with family law, estates and civil litigation, paid out fees ranging from $9,300 to $68,000. Most of the clients were from Timmins; one of the parties was from Chapleau. In addition to being publicly reprimanded by the Law Society, Doucet was fined $5,000. Doucet has been practising law since 1986 and is a sole practitioner based in Timmins.
