A solicitor who was previously banned from practising law for four years has had his name removed from the Supreme Court’s roll of legal practitioners.
Mr Sammy Bektas, a former Melbourne personal injuries solicitor from Victorian Compensation Lawyers Pty Ltd, took the unusual step of applying to the Court to have his own name removed from the roll, meaning he will no longer be able to work as a lawyer. This application was fully supported by the Legal Services Commissioner, and CEO of the Legal Services Board, Michael McGarvie.
