According to the Law Society of Ontario,<\/a> Maja Milosevic not only repeatedly ignored official communications, she failed to attend the regulatory hearing that ultimately stripped her of her right to practice.<\/p>\nThe most recent hearing was not her only interaction with the regulator. Milosevic was licensed in 2015 and less than a decade later, the Law Society states she was administratively suspended on April 24, 2024, for not reporting on her continuing professional development; May 14, 2024, for not submitting an annual report and; June 4, 2024, for non-payment of annual fees.<\/p>\n
These suspensions were still in place when tribunal chair Murray Walter Chitra heard the case virtually on March 6.<\/p>\n
Representing the Law Society as the applicant at the hearing was Kandace Forbes. Per the Law Society Tribunal\u2019s court documents, the respondent, Milosevic, was \u201cnot present or represented.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chitra ultimately decided that Milosevic\u2019s license to practice law should be suspended indefinitely, effective immediately, until she provides a \u201ccomplete response to outstanding requests\u201d detailed in the Feb. 19 investigator\u2019s affidavit to the satisfaction of the Law Society.<\/p>\n
As well, \u201cUpon the conclusion of this indefinite suspension and any other currently pending suspensions, an additional one-month suspension will commence,\u201d wrote Chitra.<\/p>\n
Throughout the duration of these suspensions, Milosevic must \u201cstrictly adhere\u201d to the Law Society\u2019s guidelines for suspended lawyers and she was ordered to pay $1,871.50 in costs to the Law Society within one year. Unless an extension is granted, failure to pay the amount results in a 4 per cent annual interest accrual.<\/p>\n
The tribunal documents state that the Law Society began an investigation of Milosevic June 24, 2025 after a complaint from one of her clients, alleging she may have failed to meet several professional obligations, including \u201creporting required information to the Law Society or her insurer and providing legal services that meet established standards of competence and quality.\u201d Additionally, the Law Society had \u201cconcerns\u201d that alleged that Milosevic failed to maintain proper communication, neglected to obtain or follow client instructions, and did not comply with the regulatory obligations mandated by her existing suspensions.<\/p>\n
The tribunal notes that between June and September 2025, the Law Society\u2019s investigator repeatedly attempted to contact Milosevic via Law Society portal messages, emails, and phone calls using the information on file.<\/p>\n
Rules for members of the Law Society require them to keep their contact information current, as well as to reply \u201cpromptly and completely\u201d to any communication with the regulator. The requirement is an \u201cethical obligation directed at ensuring that members of the public can have confidence\u201d in the process, wrote Chitra.<\/p>\n
Despite a courier package containing all requests being delivered and signed for at Milosevic\u2019s home on September 5, 2025, Chitra wrote \u201cno response was ever received from the Lawyer (MIlosevic). None of the required information or documents was ever provided.\u201d<\/p>\n
The costs stem from these attempts to contact Milosevic, billed at the investigator\u2019s hourly rate, and the cost of the appearance by Forbes, on behalf of the Law Society.<\/p>\n
Milosevic \u201chas chosen not to appear before the Tribunal to account for her actions or speak to mitigating circumstances. There may be relevant personal or medical factors. However, in the absence of any evidence it is not possible to make any such determination,\u201d wrote Chitra. \u201cIt is also not possible to know about the Lawyer\u2019s future intentions. Her failure to respond or correct her outstanding administrative suspensions gives rise to concerns about whether or not she will be returning to legal practice.\u201d<\/p>\n
