Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
If the lawyer is threatening with such illegal acts you may prefer a complaint against the lawyer before the bar association to which he is attached.
Alternately you can give a complaint to the bar council of the state against the advocate for his actions of blackmail and extortion.
Since it is very lengthy procedure, you may look for an amicable solution with the lawyer by negotiating the fees. .

No need to bow down to pressure tactics
2) refuse to pay
3) file complaint against lawyer with bar council of your state
Dear client,
You can try to gather as much proof as you can of him threatening you and file a case with the police against him as he is actively threatening you.
Thank you.
Please take up the matter with the bar council, besides lodging a criminal complaint against the lawyer.
- The said act of notary lawyer is against the law, and your mother can lodge a compliant against him before the BCI and also with the police for the offence of threating and misusing the document
- If , there is an agreement between your mother and the lawyer then you are bound to pay the same , otherwise he cannot threaten to tear the papers as this is against the ethics of advocate act.
He can't threaten you it's illegal. You can file a complaint against him in police or Court
If you feel that the demands made by him exorbitant and you have been cheated by the said lawyer, you can very well give a complaint against him to the bar association to which he is attached.
