Attorney Basraglik refused to return the documents to the complainant, and asked her to pay the full fee. This, despite the fact that she paid more than a quarter of the amount and asked to change representation. For nearly a year and a half,
Basraglik delayed the documents and all the appeals of the victim of the crime did not help. She appealed to the Ethics Committee in the Tel Aviv District of the Bar Association. After that, Attorney Besarglik sued the victim for NIS 200,000 in compensation, including NIS 60,000 due to mental anguish and the loss of his time for filing a complaint with the Ethics Committee, while the disciplinary process is being clarified.

I will study the sentence and if I find it right, I will also appeal it."
